Create a Job Collection

A job collection is a group of individual jobs that you want to run in a particular order. For instance, you can create a job collection to synchronize user accounts between multiple Active Directory domains. You first create multiple Synchronize jobs to transfer data between two directories, and then combine them in a job collection. Then you can execute the job collection instead of executing each job one by one.

To understand how workflows work with Synchronize jobs, see the Synchronize Jobs and Workflows topic.
