Job Scheduling Scenario

[Former Member]

I have a scenario here .

Consider 2 Jobs A and B .

"A" is schduled to run periodically everyday at 13:00 hrs.

"B" is scheduled in such a way that once "A" completes , "B" should start.

This Works fine when "A" runs for the first time. ie. "B" gets invoked and completes successfully.

But , when "A" runs again the next day as scheduled , "B" does not get invoked as it was designed to do.

So I again have to reschdule the "B" .

Is there any solution to this mess , I do not want to reschedule the job eveytime.

Awaiting replies .......

Hi Ashish,

If you schedule job B as "After Job" A, then it is not possible to run it as periodic job. The options are

1. As Juan said, define two steps in the same job

2. Take the highest runtime of Job A and schedule job B at time which is greater than the highest runtime of job A.

Cheers.....,

Why don't you just create a job with 2 steps.
