5.4 What Is Wrong with These Examples?
After JOBB in SCHED01 is selected, only these predecessors are left for
evaluation:
(JOBA AND GBLB01=YES)
When JOBA is not in the day's workload, Unicenter CA-Scheduler knows that
it cannot be a predecessor.
Example 6
Criteria for job JOBB:
MON OR TUE OR WED OR THU OR FRI
OR
(SAT AND PRED JOBA)
The intent is that JOBB would run Monday through Saturday, but only on
Saturday if JOBA completed sometime since last Saturday (for example, it may
be that JOBA only runs on Fridays). The rule is that keyword-defined explicit
predecessors apply across all selection criteria. Consequently, JOBB will wait
for JOBA every time JOBB is selected (even on Monday, Tuesday, and so
forth).
To accomplish this, you have to set up JOBB as two separate jobs: JOBB-01 and
JOBB-02. Notice how the criteria for JOBB-01 has been simplified following.
The correct way of coding this criteria statement is:
Criteria for the first job JOBB-01:
WEEK-DAY
Criteria for the second job JOBB-02:
SAT AND PRED JOBA
