Start a new job of schedule even if a job is still in progress in ElectricFlow?
We have a requirement where we created a schedule to run every 12 hours. And the job of schedule should start even if a job is still in progress. Currently, until the job is complete, the schedule is not launching a new job. How can this be achieved?

That is the how the schedule function is design, that is it waits for any running jobs kicked off by the schedule to complete before starting a new job. I will suggest an enhancement to enable the use case you describe. In the meantime, you can schedule a wrapper procedure that kicks off the actual procedure. The DSL below illustrates how to do that:
project "Test",{
// Procedure takes 2 minutes to run, but want to run it every minute without blocking
procedure "Procedure to Schedule",{
step "sleep", command: "sleep 120"
}
procedure "Wrapper Procedure",{
step "run Procedure to Schedule",
command: "ectool runProcedure --projectName \"$projectName\" --procedureName \"Procedure to Schedule\" "
}
schedule "Run every minute",
interval: "1",
intervalUnits: "minutes",
procedureName: "Wrapper Procedure"
}
