Control-M does not have direct mechanism to pass parameter between two jobs. The closest option is to define a global AutoEdit variable in JobA for JobB to consume. Outside of Control-M, JobA can write something into a file for JobB to read, provided JobA and JobB have access to the same file and wr...

If from End, there is a guaranteed quiet time between two successive runs. If from Start, successive runs may be immediately one after the other. Or you may choose from Target. With that, job runs will be targeted to be every 2 minute. Target times will be skipped if a run has gone over its cycle. T...

You can have two jobs: job B1 will complete normally and job B2 will complete with failure. Job A can order B1 or B2 using STEP according to A's status.

I don't understand "if A is triggered successfully".

Do you mean if job X kicks of job A then job B should fail? Or you mean if job A finishes successfully job B should fail?

For either case, can job B be left waiting and removed by end of day, rather than let it fail?

An agent must be explicitly added into Control-M. If an agent cannot be added because it is already in discovering state, delete it first and then add.

It is built into Control-M that a cyclic job will make a run only after its previous run has completed.

Try extending the time window, for example until 0730, and see what it does. I will be surprised if Server has been busy between 0702 and 0705 so that time is already out of job's window when Server gets to this job.

Ask your cell phone carrier what is the e-mail address for your SMS. In North America, many carriers allows SMS be sent to <cell>@<carrier>

Once you have a valid address, you can send to SMS using shout or e-mail in Control-M. Just watch for the length of message when sending to SMS.

MAXRERUN is not exposed as AutoEdit variable, nor can the value be updated dynamically. It must be a fixed value in job definition.

What is Next Time after job's first run? Click Why after Next Time but before 07:05 to see what is holding it up.

Are there log entries between 06:02 (wait time window) and 04:00 (new day removal)?

%%PREV and %%NEXT will give a job's previous and next schedule day respectively. If this job is scheduled for business days only, these variables will give what you want.
