Hi Sandeep

I haven't tried to run data management steps in parallel before, but what you could try is to put each step in it's own sequence and then kick them all off at once using a business rule: 

 

BRApi.Utilities.StartDataMgmtSequence(si, "Sequence 1", Nothing)
BRApi.Utilities.StartDataMgmtSequence(si, "Sequence 2", Nothing)
BRApi.Utilities.StartDataMgmtSequence(si, "Sequence 3", Nothing)
BRApi.Utilities.StartDataMgmtSequence(si, "Sequence 4", Nothing)

 

This should start each of them in the background, so I think it will effectively run them in parallel.

Regards,

Mark

This solution seems a little klunky to me for the average user and normal use case, I'm wondering if an easier option might be that the Data Management Sequence could have a checkbox upfront that prompts whether the Steps can be run in parallel or not, similar to how it prompts today what servers to run on.
