Hi,

I have a customization where I am executing a custom batch task after the customer aging snapshot batch job has been executed. Since, the customer aging snapshot uses multi threading, I had to make my custom batch task dependent on each of the threads the customer aging snapshot batch job creates.

The problem is that the customization works as expected most of the time throughout the year but in some cases, my batch task gets executed prematurely and ignores the dependent customer aging snapshot batch tasks.

Upon inspecting the problematic batch job in the batch history form, I can see that my batch task contains customer aging snapshot tasks as dependent tasks but still my custom batch task gets executed along with the first dependent task in the list.
