Periodic job with triggering after job?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to define a job, say ZX, which will trigger after another job, say Z1, has finished.

The first job in the chain, Z1 above is scheduled periodically. So I would like the following dependent job ZX to also trigger after each instance of Z1 finishes. However definig the last job with start condition "After job" will only trigger the job the first time the first job finishes (and then not trigger again).

How can I work around this?

I thought about using an event to trigger the dependent job (since event based start conditions can be periodic). And in that case is there any standard report that can be used to trigger an event as last step of first job (transaction sm64 doesn't seem to support saving of variants which would be needed if triggering as a step in a job).

Many thanks for your help!

Regards,

Christian

Hi Christian,

Maybe this sound too obvious but why don't you can create a job with 2 steps so one run after the other one. Then just schedule the job periodically an thats it.

Hope this help!
