How do you job with in condition or time.

I have a job that must be dependant upon its predecessor - a FW job - finishing, or if the time gets to 11:15am. That is: If the predecessor completes - start the job, or if the time is 11:15am and the predecessor has not completed - start the job. I am hoping someone has tackled this issue and can assist.

Regards,

note: I am running version 6.4.01.700 E/M and 6.4.01.600 server.

You could trigger the job from two other jobs with an Or operand between the conditions - the first job being the filewatcher and the second a dummy job which is scheduled to run at 11:15. Either predecessor job runs then the job will run

Hi,

You can also use the AFT file watcher and, in the 'advanced' buttom, wait the file until 11:15.
You can manage the return code in the 'Step' tag.
