Creates task group jobs based on the properties of an existing job.
It is recommended that current Workflow Manager (Classic) users begin new projects using the services-driven version of ArcGIS Workflow Manager for ArcGIS Pro.
This tool is intended for use with the Topographic Mapping production management workflows and will not support an improperly configured Workflow Manager (Classic) repository.
The TASK_GROUP_RELATIONSHIPS table is used to determine the types of task group jobs that will be created.
The TASK_GROUP table is used to determine the feature class that contains the area of interests (AOIs) that will be used for the new task group jobs. A job will be created for each feature in the feature class that intersects and shares an interior with the AOI for the Job ID parameter value. If no feature class is defined in the TASK_GROUP table, a job will be created with the same AOI as the Job ID parameter value.
If the Job ID parameter value is a task job rather than a task group job, the jobs created by this tool will be defined by the properties of the parent task group job.
A job will not be created if a job with the same task group and AOI exists with a Created or Ready to Work status. However, the job ID of the existing job will be returned in the list of output job IDs.

The following code sample demonstrates how to use the CreateTaskGroupJobs function in Python.
# Name: CreateTaskGroupJobs_sample.py
# Description: This script returns a list of new task group jobs that are created
# based on the area of interest and extended properties of the chosen job.
# Import System Modules

# Setting Local Variables
job_id = 23
input_database_connection = r'C:\Data\Workflows\Testing.jtc'
# Create new task group jobs
