Need to schedule the Job on the basis of completion time of previous Job

[Former Member]

Hi All

We have a requirement to select the run of the job on the basis of the completion of the previous job.

Let me explain this.

We have a Job Chain "X" which is scheduled to run at 10PM.So the requirement is like if this job completes before 12AM , It should trigger Job Chian "Y" or If this Job completes after 12 AM , It should trigger Job "Z".

I have been trying this for 2 days.Can anyone help me urgently.

Regards

Hello,

Looks like you need different variant selection parameters depending on whether the process started before or after midnight? If that is the case you have a couple of options:

1) use a precondition on job Y: =Time.toFormattedString(Time.now('your timezone'),'HHmm') >= 1200 and a precondition on job Z: =Time.toFormattedString(Time.now('your timezone'),'HHmm') < 1200

2) use an expression for the variant selection: =Logic.if(Time.toFormattedString(Time.now('your timezone'),'HHmm') >= 1200, '<variant before midnight>', '<variant after midnight>')

3) set the variant parameters directly from the job, these will be calculated when the job starts so you will always have the correct selection criteria.

Hi Blom

Thanks you very much for your prompt Reply.

I tried using this technique.

Made the Job "Y" and "Z" in the Job "X". Now in the precondition parameter of Y and Z Job I used the Time Window Technique of (10PM ~ 11:59PM) and (12:00AM ~ 9:59PM).

This helped the situation.
