Sequence of each method in data collection method

[Former Member]

Hi experts

We have a data transfer task that includes several methods (flexible upload, load from data stream, copy, delete, etc), we want the order of the methods as follows by modifyng the data collection method:

Data Stream     Data Collection Procedure         Method
Totals Records	Flexible Upload	                  CDU03
Totals Records	Copy	                          CDC01
Totals Records	Manual Data Entry	          GED01

But after saving the changes the sequence is changed, we go back to look at customizing ad the sequence shows this:

Data Stream     Data Collection Procedure         Method
Totals Records	Copy	                          CDC01
Totals Records	Manual Data Entry	          GED01
Totals Records	Flexible Upload	                  CDU03

Is there an additional logic we should consider?

Thanks in advance

One consideration may be to have separate tasks for each mentod and assigning the Preceding Task Relationships to ensure the sequencing is correct.

Thanks Dan for the quick answer

We will consider that alternative, we still find odd that BCS changes this sequence without even sending a hint of the cause behind it. Our users are well aware of the order for executing these methods and we only wanted to simplify the display of the data collection method just to avoid confusion in the execution of those methods.

Hi

I checked the link and this only has to do with the task sequence, not the sequence of the methods in a data transfer task, finally we decided not to create more tasks and stick with the unique data transfer task

Thanks
