Do you understand what I mean?

Hi,
I'm pretty sure there was a new feature in one of the last two updates. But I doesn´t find it in any tutorial video.

It's about the fact that you can now achieve that in a folder always only a certain number of jobs and only when a job has been processed further, again a new job follows.

It's not a new feature, but I assume you mean the feature of Hold job element where you can define in its outgoing connection a "Folder constraint" which means that you can specify that the following folder can have only e.g. 3 jobs at a time:

In the flow properties, you can enable the "Show Advanced Properties" option.
Once activated, certain elements (pitstop for example) within the flow will display additional configuration fields, such as:

• Number of Slots – Defines the maximum number of tasks that can run concurrently for this element.

• Idle Job After (sec) – Specifies the time in seconds after which an inactive job is considered idle.

The hold job method allows you to do the same for element without this property.

Number of Slots - Determines the maximum number of jobs that can run

In a distributed or multi-threaded computing system, the term "slots" refers to the quantity of processing resources accessible to an element (e.g., node, executor, worker). Limiting the number of slots allows you to control the level of parallelism and maximize performance while avoiding resource overload.
