Can Integration Manager link integrations together? Import1 finishes and runs Import2, etc.

I wondered if an integration can be run from the command line and came across this question: community.dynamics.com/.../66816.aspx
Could this method be used to run multiple imports one at a time?
Chad,
You can use Batch files to schedule one or more Integrations to run after hours. Here is a link to a really good post by Leslie Vail on the topic. community.dynamics.com/.../66816.aspx
That's funny - I was just pointing you in this direction. I can tell you the post contains some erroneous data. I was told by some reliable folks running on Windows 2008/2012 was impossible because of security constraints. Turned out the path needed to be fully defined in the batch file, and then it worked just fine - you also need to run the integration as administrator and disable UAC, etc.
Thanks, Redbeard! Would you want to use the /WAIT function when calling each integration from the command line so each runs in turn?
Or maybe a good question to ask now that I look at this more closely is, what is an integration group?
I am old, so I used ping command for similar affect. The timeout command allows you to specify the wait time but wasn't available in older systems. Here's a link with a number of really good options. It takes some testing to get it just right, but it will get you your life back if you're having to manually run integrations off hours.

In newer versions of Integration Manager, you can create integration groups specifically to "daisy chain" integrations to flow one after another. You would still need to use Batch files to run them unattended. Again, being old, I came to rely on batch files to accomplish much of this. If you don't need to run integrations unattended, perhaps creating an integration group by clicking on File > New Integration Group will allow you to pick integrations you'd like to run in a series.
Yes, it is called an Integration Group.
