Accumulate output of Terminal process across Target Group

Question

I have a process (Workflow?) that I execute on a Target Group of terminal Targets.  I want to gather all the outputs of the Execute Terminal Commands into one place for processing.
Concatenating it to an Output variable doesn't work.  Each Target has it's own, with only it's output.
Even writing to a file doesn't work.  Eventually, two processes try to write at the same time and one fails. 
Concatenating it to a Global Variable seems to work.  But it seems like there must be a better way.

Answer 1

Currently CPO does not support running(or in this case broadcasting) a single activity or child process to a target group.
Here's why and some background.
Assume we have 10 targets in a target group.
You start process A against those 10 targets, what CPO actually does is spawn 10 process instances each against *1* target from that group. It does not spawn just 1 process instance.
Now assume you call child process B or an activity inside of a process. Even though you can select a target group that is only good for the parent process (or top process) level. Once you make that a child process, it operates similar to an activity.
Here is why you cannot (currently) execute a child process or activity against a target group...
And this is a discussion that has been running for some time, but how do you determine to the parent process if that child process was successful or failed? Some would argue it must be 100/100 for success, any failure is failure. Some argued that as long as it's better than 50% that's success. Some even argued that it should be just 1/100 for success. And that shows the main issue in allow child processes and activities to execute on target groups, which to this point is not supported or developed into the product.
I understand your use-case and you can accomplish the same thing in the following manner:
1) Set your variables in your parent process
2) Use Find-Target to find all the targets in the group you want to execute against
3) Use a For-Each loop to for-each through all the targets and then place the child process inside of the for-each loop and on the child process have it use the target item in the for-each loop iteration
Now If you really want it to mimic a target group or broadcast, I would then go and select the child process(inside of the parent) to execute asynchronously.  (see below SS)
Normally if you leave this unchecked each process would wait for the previous one to complete before starting. With that checked the for-each loop will continue pass each one, not caring if one succeeded or failed. It will just start them all in succession.
I cannot remember if there is already an ENH for the target group @ activity level/child process use-case, but if not, feel free to open a TAC case and suggest it, or if there is already one, they can give you the ENH number. (as I said, I think there is one, as it's been a long running discussion topic)
