Is there a way to make tasks parallel ?

[cjonagam]

workflow chain array is executing tasks in a series. Is there a way to make tasks to execute in parallel ? Also can you give more details about difference between job and workflow in documentation please.

What scenario would you use job with a specific target ? what is the use of target ?

• No, there is no way to execute tasks in parallel. The idea behind this whole task orchestration system is that tasks will run in series.
• I think it's clear the difference between a workflow and a job. It's the same than the difference between a template and whatever you create from that template. The workflow is the template, the jobs created from that workflow have concrete params, and each one is a copy of the generic workflow definition, applied to a given target.
• The use of specific targets is intended for things like "what server would you like to put this file into?". The identifier for that server would be the target, for example. It's explained at http://kusor.github.io/node-workflow/index.html#job-properties, and you can refer to code in order to get more details about how it's being used.
