Abstract
Described are techniques for consolidating tasks into a composite job. A server processes a composite request to create a composite job on the server. The composite request comprises a plurality of nested job create requests. The composite job comprises a plurality of jobs. Each job in the plurality of jobs corresponds to a job create request in the plurality of nested job create requests. The server generates a dependency tree indicating a dependency of each job in the plurality of jobs. The server executes the composite job in accordance with the dependency tree. On determining that a first job is dependent on a second job, the server executes the second job prior to executing the first job. The server passes the output of the second job as input to the first job.
