Hi

We have the following senario where we need to run the group of jobs 4 times a day in Production thru CA-7. Our plan is like this :

Set 1 (8AM) Set 2(10AM) Set 3(1PM) Set 3(5PM)

Job A Job A Job A Job A
Job B Job B Job B Job B
Job C Job C Job C Job C
Job D Job D Job D Job D

Here SET2 JobA should only start after successful completion of SET1 JOBD and subsequent sets also should do the same.

Please help on this .....

satya_mn_99,

You can use Virtual resource manager to put a hold on the jobs.

pick a dataset from each of Job b job c and job d and add it in VRM for Job a. So if any of the jobs are excueting they will have a hold on that dataset. so JOBA will wait all they are complete.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Thx, for the reply, But this doesn't solve our problem. We need some kind of solution in CA-7. We have around 60 jobs in each set, we can' t have hold on datasets like that.

Anyone have anyother idea ?????????

satya_mn_99,

The VRM is *indeed* a CA-7 Solution. Talk to your schedulers , and they will let you know how to set up the VRM.

Our schedule guys are not comfortable to keep a hold on datasets, any other solution in CA-7 ?

satya_mn_99,
If you don't want to utilize the datasets as Kolusu suggested, take a VRM on the Job, talk to schedulers
Add resource whatever-name to job A

Hi All,

Thanks a lot for your suggestions .... We have spoken with schedule group and we were told that there was a facility that the sencond set of jobs can be triggered after successful completion of 1st set even though the job names are same in those sets.

Thanks again ....

If you are single threading the jobs, Rav's suggestion is perfect. If you aren't, the amount of preds/triggering could add up (assuming you have 60 jobs per set). VRMs allow you to bypass alot of coding and make the cycle more streamline. CA-7 gives you multiple options, your Production Control/Scheduling group should know the most efficient way.

The "facility" that you are speaking of, is the DB option from the primary menu. All manipulation of CA-7 jobs/components are done through here (with the exception of BTIs).

Good Luck

Hi,
I have a similar issue but the difference is that any number of JOB A could get triggered simultaneously since it is demand dataset triggered. So what I require is after the completion of JOB D of the first set, I need to start the running of JOB A of next set.

Please help me in resolving this
