Question about Deferred functions

[Vincent Lamers]

Hi All,

as I understood a Deferred function is invoked as the first part of enforcing a catalog. 

I have a deferred function which depends on the results of a certain resource. So I have to make sure the resource is applied before the deferred function is executed.

Unfortunately a require function doesn't solve this.

How do I accomplish that?

regards,

Vincent Lamers

You cannot do this with Deferred functions. All deferred functions are
evaluated in undefined order before the catalog is applied. Resources
are applied after this.

You can view it as an extension of the compilation of the catalog - only
deferred and taking place on the agent side.

If you cannot solve this with exec resources you may need to implement
your own resource type.

Best,
