|
|
<div><p>Set up jobs or groups of jobs that are dependent on each other.
|
|
You can select the type of dependency that reflects how jobs are processed
|
|
in your environment.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>The Advanced Job Scheduler allows you to set up dependencies that
|
|
reflect how jobs are processed in your environment. Dependencies determine
|
|
when a job or group of jobs can run. You can select to have all dependencies
|
|
met before a job can run, or you can have at least one dependency met before
|
|
the job can run. Dependencies include the following:</p>
|
|
<ul><li> <strong>Job dependencies</strong> <p>Job dependencies refer to predecessor and
|
|
successor relationships for jobs. Predecessor jobs are those that must run
|
|
before the successor job will run. A successor job is a job that runs after
|
|
all the predecessor jobs have been processed. There can be multiple successor
|
|
jobs for a single predecessor job as well as multiple predecessor jobs for
|
|
a single successor job. In addition, you can specify that a dependent job
|
|
be skipped if its predecessors and successors run on a day that the dependent
|
|
job is not scheduled to run.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li> <strong>Active dependencies</strong> <p>Active dependencies are lists of jobs that
|
|
cannot be active when the selected job is to be submitted. If any of the jobs
|
|
are active, the Advanced Job Scheduler will not let the specified job run.
|
|
The selected job will be delayed until all the jobs in the list are inactive.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li> <strong>Resource dependencies</strong> <p>Resource dependencies are based on several
|
|
things. Each type that follows describes the areas that are checked. Following
|
|
are the types of resource dependencies:</p>
|
|
<dl><dt class="dlterm">File</dt>
|
|
<dd>The job is dependent on the existence or non-existence of a file and whether
|
|
it meets the specified allocation level to be processed. It can also check
|
|
whether records are present before the job is processed. For instance, JOBA
|
|
can be set up so that it will only run when file ABC exists, and the file
|
|
can be allocated exclusively and if records are present in the file.</dd>
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Object</dt>
|
|
<dd>The job is dependent on the existence or non-existence of a QSYS type
|
|
object and whether it meets the specified allocation level to be processed.
|
|
For instance, JOBA can be set up so that it will only run when data area XYZ
|
|
exists. The job can also be dependent on the existence or non-existence of
|
|
an object found in the integrated file system. If the dependency is based
|
|
on any object in the path, end the integrated file system path with a forward
|
|
slash '/'.</dd>
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Hardware configuration</dt>
|
|
<dd>The job is dependent on the existence or non-existence of a hardware configuration
|
|
and its status to be processed. For instance, JOBA can be set up so that it
|
|
will only run when device TAP01 exists and has a status of Available.</dd>
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Network file</dt>
|
|
<dd>The job is dependent on the status of a network file in order to be processed.</dd>
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Subsystem</dt>
|
|
<dd>The job is dependent on the status of a subsystem in order to be processed.</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>To work with job dependencies, follow these steps:</p>

|
</div>
|
|
<ol><li><span>Open <span class="uicontrol">Work Management</span> from your iSeries Navigator

you want to work with.</span></li>

<li><span>Select one of the following: <span class="uicontrol">Job Dependencies, Active
