Job Control - launching many sub jobs

Hi - I’m trying to create a single graph (or jobflow) that I can schedule which will call three sub graphs/jobflows in sequence. I’m having an issue where the job control portion of the graph when it’s called is launching what seems to be never ending jobs on the on the server.

Here is what I want the overall graph to do. all three graphs/jobflows work fine on their own when executed individually.

Step 1 - run a graph that exports files to be used by step two.
Step 2 - run a jobflow that also produces two files.
Step 3 - run a graph that brings together all files for a single output file.

all of these steps run to completion when run manually on their own.

I’ve created a jbf file which has an Execute Job flow component (which calls step 2) and this exports the run information to a Success component. I do not give the Execute Job Flow component any inputs (none are needed to run the job flow). When I try to run this jbf file it never finished (step 2 normally finishes in 88 seconds) and over 1500 jobs get launched on the server - they are 1500+ running step 2 jobs that never finish and new ones keep getting created.

Is there an example graph or jobflow somewhere that calls both graphs and jobflows that I can model after?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Pintail

I have created a sample jobflow for you. It consists of 2 graphs and another jobflow. It’s created in 4.1.0 Designer and tested on 4.1.0 Server. I have also tried to reproduce your issue, with no success.
If you need more assistance, please send me your files (the main jobflow with its children) via our support portal or email address support@cloveretl.com, of course if there is any sensitive data in those files, please delete it. Also, please provide me with the version numbers for the Designer and the Clover Server you are using.

Best regards
