Delaying a job after condition has been added

Is the a way to delay a job for a certain period (e.g 5 min) after a condition has been passed. I.E JobB depends on JobA. When JobA completes successfully, it will pass on a condtion to JobB to start. I want JobB to delay for 5 minutes before starting.

Is this possible without having to put a SLEEP job between JobA and JobB?

Regards

Not to my knowledge.
Effectively you can use SLEEP or WAIT command in your script in the JobA, or create a SLEEP job between them.

I think so too. I thought maybe someone out there might have had another working around. I 'll put a SLEEP between them

Thanks

Why you don't try to use the %%PRECMD in job B with sleep xx ?
