| Title | How to run same task types simultaneously |
| Date Updated | 12/08/2005 |
| Versions affected | Automize 5.x only. Does not apply to 6.x and later |
| OS affected | Not a bug |
| Description | Most Automize 5.x tasks are synchronized. i.e. only a single task of a certain type can run at a time. This prevents overlapping schedules. However, this prevents the user from running two tasks simultaneously. Sometimes the user requires simultaneous running of slow network related tasks that take long time to run. Example, simultaneously run 2 or 3 copy or web tasks that may take hours to run. |

| Solution | Use the Task Runner feature in version 5.x to obtain the CommandLine and Working Directory information for each task. Then use this information and create a Command or WindowsCommand task for each task. The Command and WindowsCommand tasks are multi threaded and many such tasks can run simultaneously. |
