Hello,

I have a job-A that does count(*) into a variable cnt from a table and this cnt is written into a dataset. I have two other jobs job-B and job-C, I want to run the job-B if the cnt is 0 otherwise run job-C (i.e., cnt > 0).

How to set this up in the job sequence? Is there any way to recoginize the job variable/field in the job sequence? Any detailed information is highly appreciated. Examples most welcome...

thank you!

Difficult if you're using a Data Set to store the intermediate result; you'd have to use an orchadmin command via an Execute Command activity to retrieve the result. Since it's only a single row, I'd advocate using a server job and posting the count into that job's user status area, whence it can be retrieved using the Job actvity's $UserStatus activity variable and that used in the downstream Nested Condition activity.
