What is the 'extra' job running during step execution? #3993

jmuirhead · 6 years ago

Given a QB configuration as follows:
Master sequential step with 3 child steps. All steps execute on the same build agent.
While any one of the child steps is executing I see three (3) jobs listed (grid.getJobs()):

One for the Master step
One for the currently executing child step
One unknown

What is the 'extra' job in the jobs list and how do I independently retrieve the id of this job?

Thank you.

QB creates two jobs to run a step, one is StepProcessJob and another is StepExecuteJob. StepProcessJob runs on parent node of the step to do things such as evaluating step execute condition, find out which node to execute the step, etc. And StepExecuteJob runs on selected node of the step to do real things.
