Add a Dependency

You can add a dependency to an object by creating a link between two objects in the Graph. The dependency appears as an object with a line pointing to the object that depends on it. The dependency link property defines the condition that must be met before the next step in the job flow is performed.

Follow these steps:

1. Click on the toolbar.

   The mouse pointer changes from to .

2. Click the object serving as the dependency and drag a line to the object that depends on it without releasing the mouse button.

   Note: You must wait for the object to which you are dragging the line to be highlighted before you release the mouse button.

   A dependency link appears between the two objects.

3. Click on the toolbar.

   The mouse pointer changes from to .

4. Right-click the dependency link and select Edit.

   One of the following occurs:

   • If the dependency link originates from a job object, the Edit Job Dependency dialog opens.
   • If the dependency link originates from a global variable object, the Edit Global Variable Dependency dialog opens.

   Note: A dependency link from a logical operator to another object has no editable properties.

5. Select the appropriate properties and click OK.

   The dependency link between the two objects is complete. You can also view the dependency in the Condition field of the properties for the second object if it is a job.

6. Select Save Flow from the drop-down list and click Go in the Flow section.

   The object properties and flow changes are saved.

Note: For the object property, dependency, and job flow changes to be saved on a CA Workload Automation AE server, you must commit the flow to the appropriate server.
