Hi juventus,

Some informations are needed:

use JOB1-JOB2 cond and in JOB2 define the variable %%PRECMD = sleep 60
or %%PRECMD = _sleep 60.

We had this problem too and were able to solve by changing the default "sleep time" For the TR(acker) and SL (selector) processes. By default, the sleep time is 30 seconds, which means that, depending on the timing of job completion, you could wait up to a minute just for them to figure out that Job2 is ready to start. Assuming you've got the horsepower on your host, I would recommend downing these values to 5 seconds using slptime script as the controlm server user.

Hope that helps.

Use the command "sleep":
in unix sleep 60
in windows _sleep 60 (utility installed in the agent default dir).

For doing this there many manner, depends to your flow:
- Build a job between JOB1 and JOB2 with task type command and in the command line: sleep 60 (or _sleep 60)

- use the %%PRECMD system variable in the var panel that do the same (is in backgroud but for sleep commadn is perfect)

Dont modify TR and SL sleep time if you can.

how would you set the sleeper command up to work in SAP jobs. I use it with UNIX jobs, command sleep 3600 (1 hr). Any ideas
