Add documentation clarifying synchronous execution is Enterprise-only

Open nthmost-orkes opened this issue 2 months ago • 1 comments

Summary

  • Adds documentation clarifying that synchronous workflow execution (waitForCompletion and waitForSeconds parameters) is an Enterprise-only feature
  • Explains that Conductor OSS executes all workflows asynchronously

Context

Addresses #581 where users expect waitForCompletion and waitForSeconds parameters to work in OSS, but these features are only available in Orkes Conductor (Enterprise).

Changes

  • Added new "Synchronous Execution" section to docs/docs/gettingstarted/startworkflow.md
  • Clearly marks sync execution as an Enterprise feature
  • Explains that OSS is asynchronous-only and requires polling

We will push this back to OSS -- i'll update this documentation to mention when this will work in OSS.
