Delay of 15 minutes in PS8 job

Hi, I have a requirement where I need to add a delay of 15 minutes between JOB A and JOB B. Both the jobs are PS8 jobs, I had tried using PRECMD in set tab of JOB B but it does'nt consider the delay as it is a PS8 job. Finally I have to add a UNIX jobs in between and added sleep 900 in the command line. Is there any better way where I don't need to add a job to make a delay ??

Have you tried the %%POSTCMD in Job A (sleep command)?

inally I have to add a UNIX jobs in between and added sleep 900 in the command line

Your way is the only (easy) way, if PRECMD or POSTCMD does not work (as you mentioned),
CTM does not have any 'add delay' feature

I know I can add the POSTCMD in Job A...but the problem is that there are 100 of jobs ...so manually updating each job would be tedious. Anything else we can work around ?

Thanks for the replies.

so export your jobs to flat file (xml) and edit the file. It should be fast. Then import them back.

If you're using 6.4. - you can do it by Mass Update.
