Can pipelines and stages be nested in a dependency graph? Or is there a better alternative.

[Anil]

I have a number of tasks and some are dependent on others for completion.

If task A is dependent on tasks B and C completing, then B and C will be child tasks of A.

It is also possible that task D is dependent on task B and then we have a DAG.

So they will form a dependency graph (Directed Acyclic Graph)

Can I have a pipeline script with nested pipelines and jobs?

Or is there a better alternative.

[Martin Schmude]

No, pipeline scripts cannot be nested.

[Anil]

okay I will try and simulate it by using global variables that the script can access.

thanks for your reply

... or just use global libraries.
