Job sequence scenario

vamsi_4a6 · Post by **vamsi_4a6** » Fri Jul 31, 2015 9:27 pm

I have 3 jobs A,B and c.If any of the two jobs are succesful among a,b and c i need to trigger Job D.All jobs a,b,c are independent jobs.As of now i am thinking four sequencers one for AB,BC,CA,ABC combination.I do not like this approach and can we do samething in different way

Use the Nested Condition stage.

nested condition can have one input trigger and typically has multiple output triggers.How to use this nested condition?You mean to say we have to write custom condition ?

Yes. Use a single Sequencer before it that all three funnel into and then write a custom condition. Another option would be a simple routine to count the number of successes and then trigger after that if it is > 1.

Yes, but they are fairly simple, being based on activity variables describing the exit status of jobs A, B and C. Just put those together with the appropriate logical operators to define the trigger that leads to job D.

Joba

Jobb----------------->sequencer(any/all )----->nested condition------------>Jobd

Jobc

what i have to use for sequencer(any/all) and condition for nested condition?

you can check for job status of all upstream jobs in nested condition. Use unconditional triggers connected to sequencer (ALL) and check for job status for all 3 jobs in nested condition. You can put all permutation combination in the condition there.

what will happen if joba is aborted and jobb and jobc are success if we use sequencer with all?whether it will go to nested consition

As noted, it will if you let it - hence the suggestion to use 'unconditional' triggers to the sequencer.

let us say

joba is running
jobb is success

jobc is success

In that case also will it go to nested condition?If yes i did not convey the requirements properly from my side. all the three jobs should be in one of the two status (completed or aborted).Then only i need to check the condition in nested condition stage

Sounds like you need to brush up on how the sequencer works. Set it to "All".
