sequential

Executes it's children in a sequence. The sequence will only continue to be executed if each child completes. If a child is incomplete, or flags an exception then execution will terminate and this job's state will reflect that of the failed child.

If the failed job is later run manually and completes this Job will reflect the new state. As such it is useful as a trigger point for the completion of a sequence of jobs.
