Setting warning limits in a before-job routine?
Posted: Thu Feb 07, 2008 7:57 am
Hi,
I have a set of job sequences, which are in turn made up of many jobs each. These jobs can be classified in two types, say A and B.
I need the A jobs to abort after the usual 50 warnings, and the B jobs to abort at 1 warning.
Is it possible to set the warning limit using a before-job rotuine call? Or from anywhere within the sequencer?
I've searched the forums and it seems like it's not possible without resorting to manually programming a job controller in basic. While that solution could work for me, it's not an acceptable answer for the end user to give up the graphical sequencer interface. Creating a Routine Call activity before each job to see its type and set its warning limits isn't an option either, since it would clutter up the sequence interface with a call before each job, effectively doubling the amount of items on the sequencer screen (and I'm also not 100% sure it would work
).
These job sequences are scheduled to run with director - will setting the limits in director on a job by job basis work? This is the least desirable solution (since it implies going job by job setting limits by hand) but at least would produce the desired effect of aborting A-type jobs at 50 warnings and B-type jobs at 1 warning.
Thanks in advance.
