The 'Start Job and Get Reference' activity in UiPath is used to start a new automation process as a separate job. This activity is useful when you need to execute multiple automation processes simultaneously or when you want to execute a sub process inside a main process.
Start Job and Get Reference activity has several parameters that can be configured, such as the process to be executed, the priority of the job, orchestrator folder which the process resides, and the input arguments to be passed to the process.
Once the activity is started, it returns a Job Object that can be passed to the 'Wait for Job and Resume' activity in order to suspend the execution of the main workflow until the job is completed. Also, it returns information such as the job ID, the process name, the start time, the end time, and the status of the job. This information can be used to monitor the progress of the job and make decisions in the automation workflow.
n conclusion, 'Start job and get reference' activity allow you to create complex automation workflows that involve multiple parallel processes and provide greater control and visibility over the execution of these processes.
