Edit Job Dependency Dialog

The Edit Job Dependency dialog opens when you select a dependency link from a job in the Graph, right-click, and select Edit. This lets you specify a job result that determines whether the next step in the job flow is performed. For example, if JOB_A runs successfully, processing will continue.

This dialog contains the following fields:

[Dependency condition]

Specifies the dependency condition (SUCCESS, FAILURE, DONE, TERMINATED, NOTRUNNING, EXITCODE).

[Operator]

Specifies the operator to use when comparing the specified value with the exit code (=, !=, <, >, <=, >=).

Note: This field is only active when EXITCODE is selected for the dependency condition.

[Value]

Specifies the value to which the exit code is compared.

Note: This field is only active when EXITCODE is selected for the dependency condition.

Look-back

Specifies the time taken for the last run of the condition or predecessor job. The format is as follows:

hhhh.mm

hhhh

Indicates the hours taken for the last run of the condition or predecessor job.

Limits: One to four numeric characters from 0-9999, which makes it possible to look back approximately 416.58 days

Note: When specifying minutes also, the valid values range from 0-9998 instead.

mm

Indicates the minutes taken for the last run of the condition or predecessor job.

Limits: One to two numeric characters from 0-59

Examples: 0, 00.15, 06.30, 23.30, 24, 98.30, 720, 9998.59, and 9999

Notes:

• A period (.) or colon (:) can be used to separate hours and minutes.
• When the elapsed time to be specified is less than one hour, you must specify the hourly value as 00. For example, 00.30 represents 30 minutes. If hhhh.mm is specified as 30, it implies an elapsed time of 30 hours. Specifying an elapsed time of .30 is not valid.
• When you specify 0, CA Workload Automation AE examines the last end time of the job first. It then examines the last end time of the condition or predecessor job. If the condition or predecessor job has run since the last run of the job for which it is a dependency, that job is allowed to start. If the condition or predecessor job has not run since the last run of the job for which it is a dependency, that job is not allowed to start.
• For more information about look-back, see the Workload Scheduling Guide.
