Adding conditions by script or command line

eche1984 · Post by **eche1984** » 06 Oct 2011 7:46

Hi all!!

I have a batch job that has to wait many conditions from some other batch jobs, but not all of them are executed along the week.

Something like this... I have job E that runs every day and waits conditions from jobs A, B, C and D. Today only executes job C and jobs A, B & D not because they don't have to. Tomorrow may execute jobs A & D but not jobs B & C.

Assuming that I can found which are the jobs that doesn't run today, does anybody know how I can add automatically the conditions of those jobs?

Regards,
eche

hi
2 solutions
1) by script

you must check if the job A B C ... are in the AJF

ex on unix
PREJO=`ctmpsm -LISTGROUP "*" group name |grep CMD`
#test if PREJ0 has no result
if [ -z ${PREJO} ]
ctmcontb -ADD condition-name ODAT;
else
echo "no conditions to add"
fi

2) all jobs are in the same table and use adjust condition

thanks for replying.

i like option 1 and i'll probably implement it.

but i would like to know what is about "adjust condition"?

Indicates whether to ignore prerequisite conditions normally set by predecessor jobs
if the relevant predecessor jobs are not scheduled.

This parameter is relevant only for SMART Tables (7.0). or Tables (6.3..)
ex

job D wait condition for job A B C and B is not scheduled ==> the condition between B and D is ignored

in the form Executuion for a table select adjust condition

Hi,

you can also use the "ctmldnrs" tool to manage the maybe conditions.
See the Administrator Guide for more information.

Thanks for your replies.

I finally made a Shell Script to solve this.
