Delay Execution of Job B 30 minutes on completion of Job A.

Naval · Post by **Naval** » 08 Dec 2012 12:31

Hi,

There are 2 jobs A and B.

Job B is dependent on completion of Job A.

But Job B should start only after 30 minutes of completion of Job A.

Any Suggestions.

I am not sure if this is the only way, but this might work.

Schedule a dummy job in between Job A and Job B, such that,

When Job A completes fine, it triggers the DUMMY job, and since its a dummy it would end OK, in the steps tab of the DUMMY job mention,

On Stmt* Code OK
Do Rerun

On Stmt * Code RUNCOUNT>1
Do Condition Name = TriggerjobB (or what ever the condition name you have in Job B's incondition)

In the Execution Tab of the DUMMY mention the RERUN counter as Rerun every 30 mins from jobs END.

How this would help i believe, is the Job A would trigger DUMMY when it completes fine and DUMMY would run immediately and complete fine, and then Do RERUN after 30 mins.
30 mins later the second run would start and complete fine, and since the RUNCOUNT would be 2 which is greater than 1, it will trigger the job B.

When it goes for the second run the 30 minute timer would have elapsed and so it would be fine for JobB to run then.

NOTE: I haven't tested this yet, but this is what popped up in my mind as soon as I read your question. I can think on this more if this solution doesn't work.

You can use the PRECMD or POSTCMD.

You can at the end of the jobA, put in the set panel:
POSTCMD=sleep 180

Or you can put in the jobs B:
PRECMD=sleep 180.

So the second jobs starts only in the first is ended and the first thing it do is wait 30 seconds.

Regards

Does PRECMD and POSTCMD work with other then MEMNAME jobs(i.e in windwos,.bat,.exe and .cmd).

I have couple of FTP jobs,the dependent job(Job B) should only execute after 15 minutes of Job A completion.I tried using PRECMD and POSTCMS,but it doesn't seem to work

If the agent run on windows machine, dose not exist "sleep" command, you shoud use the _sleep .
Is an utility provided with the controlM agent.
