Using CONDITIONAL on File_Trigger WOB on ESP

Products

• ESP Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

Is it possible to bypass a file trigger on ESP Workload Automation system by adding the "CONDITIONAL" option on FILE_TRIGGER?.

 

Environment

Component :  ESP WORKLOAD AUTOMATION
RELEASE: ALL

Resolution

This is an important feature as we do not always have a file available for a file trigger.  When this happens, we set a abandon sub to the successor job that uses the file and continue the job stream.  The file_trigger bypasses at the end of the proc conclusion. The dueout exec stops the file_trigger going into overdue status.

                         without the conditional statement, the file_trigger has to be force-completed.
