Using the IW command to invoke jobs into an active application.

Products

• ESP Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

We have an active application loaded in ESP, lets call it MASTER. Would like to add a Sub-Application, with 5 Jobs, to the active application MASTER. Using the INVOKE command to insert the jobs, ESP does not recognize the RUN CRITERIA or time dependencies for the jobs.

EXAMPLE: Using the IW CSF command

If we invoke a Sub-Applicaiton called TESTIW with 5 jobs, all jobs will be inserted, regardless of the RUN CRITERIA. 

SUBAPPL TESTIW    
                  
JOB RCBJOBA       
 RUN DAILY     
 RELEASE RCBJOBB  
ENDJOB            
                  
JOB RCBJOBB       
 RUN DAILY     
 RELEASE RCBJOBC  
ENDJOB            
                  
JOB RCBJOBC       
 NORUN DAILY      
 RELEASE RCBJOBD  
ENDJOB            
                  
JOB RCBJOBD       
 NORUN DAILY     
 RELEASE RCBJOBE  
ENDJOB            
                  
JOB RCBJOBE       
 NORUN DAILY      
ENDJOB            

 

 

 

Environment

Release : All Releases

Component : ESP WORKLOAD AUTOMATION

Cause

You cannot insert a job with time or schedule dependencies. 

Resolution

You can insert the job on hold and reset the job's time dependencies or force complete the jobs you do not want to run. The inserted jobs run immediately unless you specify a predecessor or insert the job on hold.

You could also copy the jobs you want to run to a temporary member and invoke this member during the Insert Wob(IW) command.
