Workflow: ezcWorkflowNodeSynchronization

[ Tutorial ] [ Theoretical background ] [ Class tree ] [ Element index ] [ ChangeLog ] [ Credits ]

Class: ezcWorkflowNodeSynchronization

This node implements the Synchronization (AND-Join) workflow pattern. [source]
The Synchronization workflow pattern synchronizes multiple parallel threads of execution into a single thread of execution.
Workflow execution continues once all threads of execution that are to be synchronized have finished executing (exactly once).
Use Case Example: After the confirmation email has been sent and the shipping process has been completed, the order can be archived.
Incoming nodes: 2..* Outgoing nodes: 1
