Populates the list of expected tasks for a job based on the selected task group.
This tool is designed to be run as a step in a Workflow Manager (Classic) workflow. Running this tool outside of Workflow Manager (Classic) does not honor all Workflow Manager (Classic) constraints such as job assignment, dependencies, or holds and may cause a job to enter an unusable state.
This tool is intended for use with the Topographic Mapping production workflows and will not support an improperly configured Workflow Manager (Classic) repository. Sample workflows and instructions for configuring Topographic Mapping production workflows are available as part of the product file installer.
It is recommended that current Workflow Manager (Classic) users begin new projects using the services-driven version of ArcGIS Workflow Manager for ArcGIS Pro.
A task is a small, focused unit of work that can be executed by an individual. Task groups are composed of multiple tasks that, when executed in sequence, complete a type of work. For example, a task group to perform data extraction can be composed of tasks to collect data, validate the data, and publish the data. Task groups and their associated tasks are defined by your Workflow Manager (Classic) administrator as part of configuring the Topographic Mapping workflows.
When run through Workflow Manager (Classic), a parent job is created for a task group to define the type of work that needs to be completed over a specific area of interest. When a task is ready to be executed, a job is created for the task and is linked to the task group job as a child.
When a task group job is created, the type of work to be completed for this unit of work is typically defined by the assignment of a task group ID. This tool is used when the task group job has been created to define the list of tasks that need to be completed for that job.
This tool requires that the Task Group extended property is configured with a valid task group ID. The chosen task group ID will determine the tasks that need to be executed.
The task list created by this tool is required by the Set Next Task, Create Job for Task, Set Task Status, and Insert Task Group tools. To ensure the tools work correctly, this tool must be run first.
