how can I make daily and monthly jobs interdependent

[sandeep5]

Hi,

Could you please let me know that is it possible using CONTROL-M scheduler that my daily jobs (scheduled) and monthly jobs (scheduled again) be interdependent to each other. These jobs use the same code and I do not want to run daily job when its monthly counterpart is running and vise versa. These jobs run on Unix platform

I really appreciate your help.

Thanks

Sandeep

Sandeep5,
There are a couple different ways to do this.
1)Make your daily job a conditional predecessor to your monthly job. The downside is that the daily job must run before the monthly job can run.

2)Add a CONTROL state to each and make it exclusive. For example-
DAYMONTH E. This will prevent them from running with each other.

Hope this helps,
midland13

You could use a quantitative resource on both the daily and the monthly job.
Tools>Quantitative Resources - create a resource and then add it to both
jobs on the resources tab. For example in the future you add a quarterly run in the future you can add the resource to that job, too.

I agree with midland13 that exclusive control resource can do the trick. It is the simplest way to guarantee multiple jobs not executing together. This is a Control-M feature therefore independent of agent platform.

I understand the question as a schedule problem:
the same job and code. One than run all days and the other only once a month. When there is one there isnt the other.
If this is the question you can work on the schedule panel excluding the month job day from the schedule of the daily job.
Or I've miss-understanding ?
