Job Triggers

When a predecessor job completes successfully, a trigger initiates scheduling of the successor or dependent jobs that will be brought into the request queue. This newly triggered job can also have a trigger definition that, upon successful completion, causes another job to start. For ease of definition and understanding, the predecessor/successor relationship is commonly used to control sequencing of jobs in the production environment. Job triggers are defined with the DB.2.4 function.
