Parallel Steps
A parallel step is a group of steps that are executed parallelly, instead of sequentially. Normally, as the workflow processes, each step is executed one after another. With parallel steps, more than one step can be executed simultaneously. The steps grouped in a parallel step must be independent of each other. When you include a parallel step in a workflow, all the grouped steps are executed before the next serial or sequential step is initiated. You can use only simple steps in a parallel step. You cannot use condition, stop, and parallel type of steps in a parallel step.
For parallel steps, specify the following parameters:
