What job scheduling product do you use (CA-7, IBM TWS, CA-Scheduler, CA-Jobtrac, Control-M, etc.)?

venkat,

First of all you need a schedueling package like CA-7,ASG-ZEKE, CONTROL-M. Once you have such package you can schedule all the jobs to run at the same time as you say all of them are critical.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Schedule of Jobs is as follows.

A is calling B which in turns calls C.

A is calling B & C.C is calling D & E.

Is it possible

venkat,

Did you even read the responses posted above? Without the name of schedueling package , how do you expect people answer your question? It is not the same syntax or usage for all the schedueling packages.

venkat,

wow ! I have never come across a shop which has all the 3 scheduling packages.

Any ways JOBS do NOT call another jobs. It is the PGMS that does the calling. Jobs TRIGGER other jobs.

If your calling is indeed triggering then YES it is possible to schedule the jobs as you asked for
