How to make sure scenario X is not currently running when scenario Y starts

I need that when scenario Y starts, the scenario X is not running, and if it is, for scenario Y to wait until it isn’t.

I have read suggestion using Data Store, like a flag. Is there any other solution?

Thank you.

Hey Ricardo,

what’s wrong with the Data store approach? I suppose you could try with Make internal modules to check the status of the other scenario, but its not going to be less operations, if that is the concern.

This is not possible. “Get Scenario Details” does not have “is running” in the output.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

P.S.: Investing some effort into the Make Academy will save you lots of time and frustration using Make.

So so far there is no way for one scenario to know if the scenario is running.

I have to implement a flag everytime one starts.

Seems like a functionality missing.
I agree it should be included in the output for “Get Scenario Details”

That’s a great idea! I’m sure others would agree that this is a nice feature to have.

You can submit this suggestion to the Idea exchange, under Platform Ideas and Improvements

Don’t forget to search for it first, just in case someone already suggested it, so that you don’t end up creating a duplicate.
