Job Sequence - Trigger Question

[Raftsman]

Job A calls Job B, Job B calls Job C. Using a parameter, I tried to set a Custom Conditional IF THEN ELSE so that if the parameter is set to bypass Job B Job A would call Job C.

I tried in Job A to say IF Parm = 1 THEN Job B ELSE Job C.

Is this possible and what is the command to execute the job that I would put in the IF statement?

Thanks

You don't "call jobs" in triggers. By "call" do you mean they are linked in the Sequence job?

JobA -> JobB -> JobC

Are you looking for a way to conditionally skip JobB based on a parameter? If yes, I would use a Nested Condition with Sequencer stages for something like that.

[Raftsman]

Let me clarify this a bit more. Remove Job C from the mix.

Job A is the pre-sequence to Job B but is could be possible that Job B can be execute on its own.

It is also possible that job A or Job B could run on their own.

What I am trying to avoid is having duplicate Job Activities on the pallette. Using the Nested process, I am able to accomplish my logic but using duplicate activities. I was hoping to avoid this and somehow use the triggers

I though that I may be able to execute activities based on their name. This way I could call and bypass sequences.

If not, I will keep duplicate activities on the pallette.

Thanks

As already noted use the Nested Condition. Based on the conditions run one or both of your succeeding jobs.

Code: Select all

                     |----> Job A
Nested Condition-----|
                     |----> Job B

HTH

But A may need to run before B. That's my problem.

I personally wouldn't worry about 'duplicate activities' on the canvas. If it works, is maintainable and doesn't look like it was designed by a spider on crack then it's all good.

I have a job sequence that relies on entered parameters. I want to execute this job many times at the same scheduled time. I tried this and the last scheduled job is executed. All other are ignored. It doesn't look like the schedulers stacks the jobs as they are scheduled. Even though I enter the same time, should the jobs execute sequentially as entered.

Could someone please provide some insight.

Thanks

That's... not how it works.

The only way this job can run 'many times at the same scheduled time' with different parameter values is if it is multi-instance.
