Fork Control Node
A Fork node is a Production control node that provides a logical branching system in the flow process.
A Fork node causes the data flow to split and run several different branches simultaneously, up to the processor limit.
A corresponding Wait node is required to bring the branches back together. Best practice is to first create the branches and then connect the branches to the Fork and Wait nodes. See Wait Control Node.
The Fork node has two panes where you set attributes.
You set attributes for the Fork node in the node attributes pane.
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
Name |
Specify a descriptive name for the node. Lower case names maximize usage of the available space. |
Failure type |
Specify how to handle a Fork node failure:

Each node has an area where you can enter comments.
It is a DI best practice to enter a note for every node in a Production script. These notes can help you or a coworker understand the intent of the node and troubleshoot issues in the future.
