Box Jobs

A box job is a CA Workload Automation AE-specific jobset, a collection of jobs or other box jobs that have similar starting conditions or complex logic flows. Box jobs do not group jobs organizationally, but instead group jobs with the same scheduling parameters. For example, if several jobs run daily at 1:00 a.m., you can bundle them in a box job and assign that one job a daily start condition. However, you should not group jobs with diverse starting conditions in the same box job.

You can use a box job to organize and control process flow. The box performs no actions, although it can trigger the execution of other jobs. An important feature of this type of job is that you can nest boxes inside of other boxes. When you nest box jobs, you can group jobs with similar starting conditions and maintain and execute them logically.
