An Application consists of one or more jobs and other workload objects. Applications let you group related jobs and define their dependencies. For example, you may want to group all your payroll jobs in one Application. Jobs in an Application may run on different platforms.
By default, the server submits a job after all of the job's predecessors complete successfully. Predecessors are workload objects that must complete before another workload object can run. Successors are workload objects that must wait for the completion of predecessors before they can run.
Example: Predecessors and Successors in an Application
Every day, jobs A, B, C, and D run. On Fridays, job E also runs. On the last workday of the month, job F also runs.
The following illustration shows the days on which the various jobs run:
The following table lists the predecessors and successors of each job.
