Unable to Create Child Jobs in Web Edition

Question

This may have been asked before, I downloaded the "ArcGIS JavaScript Viewer New" template from GitHub and I cannot create a child job from a workflow. I get this error when trying to execute the step.

Can not find step JTXDesktopSteps.CreateJobAdvanced

What can I do to work around this?

Yes, the history contains the job ID of job created. Would that work?

Thanks,

Is there anyway to have the first job retain the history of the created job?

Amanda,

Unfortunately, that step is desktop only step and wouldn't run on the web.

You can try using the JTXSteps.CreateJob, but it doesn't have all the settings/arguments that the CreateJobsAdvanced has. Basically, you can create a job from another job's workflow but it won't be able to set it as a child job.

Does this help?

Thanks,

Tope
