Dataset Dependency and Time Dependency Combined

Post by cis045tlc » 20 Jul 2012 6:49

I have a job that cannot run until at least 9:15 A.M. Eastern and it's input dataset must be present.

My Scheduling Team has told me a job in Control-M can not have both time and dataset dependencies so they have scheduled the job to start at 9:15 A.M. Eastern. As expected, it frequently fails with a JCL error because the input dataset has not been created.

This seems like a relatively simple scheduling request and I'm surprised Control-M cannot handle it.

Can someone confirm or deny what I've been told? Thank you
