Jobset Predecessors

Use of jobset predecessors is optional. If you do not want to use predecessor relationships at the jobset level, go to How to Identify Work to Perform.

Jobset predecessors are used to specify the list of jobs, jobsets, or trigger profiles that must complete successfully before this jobset can be started. A predecessor requirement will be marked satisfied if any of the following conditions are true:

• The predecessor completed successfully (COMPL).
• The predecessor aborted and shows a status code of ABORT but has an Abend action of CONTINUE in its profile.
• The predecessor is specified as dynamic and is missing from (that is, does not exist in) the current workload tracking file.
