Working with Workload Objects › CA WA Jobs › Create a Task

Create a Task

Tasks can have many uses in your Applications. For example, you can use tasks to represent a manual dependency, run different jobs based on the time a predecessor job completes, or delay job submission until the next hour. You must complete a task for its successors to become eligible for submission.

Note: For more information on using tasks, see the Examples Cookbook.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Application that you want to add the job to in the Define perspective.

   The Application appears in the workspace.

2. Select the Task workload object from the CA WA group in the Palette view, and drag the workload object to the workspace.

   The Task icon appears on the Application workspace view.

3. Right-click the Task icon, and select Edit from the pop-up menu.

   The Basic page of the Task dialog opens.

4. Enter the name of the task, specify a run frequency and other parameters as appropriate, and click OK.

   The task is defined.
