We're running Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3.

I've got the following code where I'm running a "Move to Bay Door" batch job followed by a "Confirm Shipment" batch job. Then, if multiple "All work" Work ID's have been selected, I want each "Move to Bay Door" to be dependent on the "Confirm Shipment" completing before the next "Move to Bay Door" runs.

    //create batch header
    batchHeader = BatchHeader::construct();
    batchHeader.parmCaption("Move to Baydoor & Confirm Shipment");

    while(whsWorkTable)
    {
        bayDoorBatchTask = UT_AP_WHSWorkFinalizeComplete::construct(whsWorkTable.WorkId);
        //add the baydoor batch tasks to a 'set' for processing later
        setBayDoors.add(bayDoorBatchTask);
        //add the batch tasks to the batch header
        batchInfo = bayDoorBatchTask.batchInfo();
        batchInfo.parmCaption(strFmt("Move to Bay Door for WorkId %1",whsWorkTable.WorkId));
        batchInfo.parmGroupId("AOS2");
        batchHeader.addTask(bayDoorBatchTask);
        batchHeader.addRuntimeTask(bayDoorBatchTask,BatchHeader::getCurrentBatchTask().RecId);

        confirmShipBatchTask = UT_AP_WHSWorkShipConfirm::construct(whsWorkTable.WorkId, true, false);
        //add the batch tasks to the batch header
        batchInfo = confirmShipBatchTask.batchInfo();
        batchInfo.parmCaption(strFmt("Confirm Shipment for WorkId %1",whsWorkTable.WorkId));
        batchInfo.parmGroupId("AOS2");
        batchHeader.addTask(confirmShipBatchTask);
        batchHeader.addRuntimeTask(confirmShipBatchTask,BatchHeader::getCurrentBatchTask().RecId);

        //define a dependency between the Move to Bay Door and the Confirm Shipment tasks
        batchHeader.addDependency(confirmShipBatchTask, bayDoorBatchTask, BatchDependencyStatus::Finished);

        whsWorkTable = multiSelectionHelper.getNext();
    }

    // Create dependencies between bayDoor batches
    sBayDoors = setBayDoors.getEnumerator();
    sBayDoors.movenext();
    bayDoorBatchTask = sBayDoors.current(); //1st bay door task

    while (sBayDoors.movenext())
    {
        bayDoorBatchTask2 = sBayDoors.current(); //2nd bay door task
        // Now define a dependency between the Move to Bay Doors
        batchHeader.addDependency(bayDoorBatchTask2, bayDoorBatchTask, BatchDependencyStatus::FinishedOrError);
        bayDoorBatchTask = bayDoorBatchTask2; //Assign 2nd task to 1st task and repeat
    }

    //save the batch
    batchHeader.save();

The Results:

Ended	Move to Bay Door for WorkId 0746820	2/7/2019	01:18:03 pm	2/7/2019	01:20:17 pm	No Dependencies
Ended	Confirm Shipment for WorkId 0746820	2/7/2019	01:20:17 pm	2/7/2019	01:23:57 pm	Dependencies
Ended	Move to Bay Door for WorkId 0746824	2/7/2019	01:20:17 pm	2/7/2019	01:28:23 pm	Dependencies
Ended	Confirm Shipment for WorkId 0746824	2/7/2019	01:28:25 pm	2/7/2019	01:34:21 pm	Dependencies

So my 2nd "Move to Bay Door" started before my 1st "Confirm Shipment" ended. My dependency between the "Move to Bay Door" and the "Confirm Shipments" seems to be working just fine, but my dependency between "Move to Bay Doors" doesn't seem quite right.
