Abstract

Provided is a method, system and program for synchronizing sequential subtasks of a task, so that the subtasks can be dispatched to generate operations in a particular sequence. In one embodiment, a subtask which has been prepared for dispatching is queued in a queue until the queued subtask is the next subtask in sequence for dispatching. In one embodiment, the subtasks may be sorted in the queue by task and by subtask sequence.
