Sometimes you need step A to run to completion before step B fires off.&nbsp; Is there a way to make this happen?------------------------------Stephen Study------------------------------

Hi Stephen, the 'Pause' step that Jeff mentioned is under the Clock channel. Here is a screenshot of its location.&nbsp;

What is step A.&nbsp; I suspect that you are calling an API?------------------------------Mark Shnier (YQC)mark.shnier@gmail.com------------------------------

Just an illustration of an arbitrary example. The actual scenario is complicated and involves callable recursive pipelines. I'm just wondering if there was a setting or accepted practice to force steps to not run asynchronously.

Thanks

You can add a 'Pause' step and make the pipeline pause for as long as you want.------------------------------Jeff Peterson------------------------------

Thanks Jeff.&nbsp; I was unaware of that functionality and I'm not seeing it amongst the available pipeline channels.&nbsp; Sorry to bother you but can you point me to a resource on how to add a pause step?&nbsp; Thanks------------------------------Stephen Study------------------------------
