JOBA should execute program PROG1 with variant VARPROG1 in background everyday @ 10 AM.

JOBB should execute program PROG2 with variant VARPROG2 in background after JOBA

Hi,

You follow the below process.

1) Define a BG job in your system with Daily Frequency and have four variants in that jobs such a way.

Step-1 ---program PROG1 with variant VARPROG1

Step -2 ---program PROG2 with variant VARPROG2

Step-3 - program PROG3 with variant VARPROG3

Step -4 program PROG4 with variant VARPROG4

If you define the job in this way, this will ensure that Prog -2 will only start when Prog -1 will be over and similarly other will also follow the sequence and in this way you achieve the Daily frequency also.

How do i handle if the 1st execution fails

Hi,

If job is cancelled on 1st Step, Rest of the steps will not be executed. If I am correct than this should be your requirement also.

Hi,

"After a Job" solution will works in one time Scenario and Step concepts fits for periodic jobs also.

One more difference is that in "After job" option you can start the later job even if preceding job is cancelled which is not possible in "In Step" feature .

With Regards,
