Using the Motif Interface › Interpreting Your Job Display › Job Dependency Arrows

Job Dependency Arrows

Jobs without dependencies are displayed at the top of the Graphical Jobs Display window, and jobs with dependencies are displayed below. Arrows indicate job dependencies. Each arrow indicates the order in which the connected jobs run; the arrow points to the job that depends on the other job.

Note: The manager displays dependent jobs using arrows that point from left to right, in the direction of the flow of execution of the jobs. (Arrows do not always point from left to right in the case of cyclic dependencies.) When you create a dependency that goes from right to left, the manager rearranges the job boxes in the window the next time it displays them, for instance, when you click on Refresh.
