Issue/Introduction

Issue: 

A job has a run_window between 08:00 and 12:00 and will start only if a specific file arrives. 

So the job is defined with a starting condition of Success on a file watcher job.

We would like to  start the job at 12:00 even if the expected file is not arrived.

 

Environment:  

Workload Automation AE (AutoSys) any release

 

Resolution:

The best solution is to add a “term_run_time” attribute on the predecessor file watcher job.

 And to start the job on the “DONE” of the file watcher job. Example :

 

insert_job : fw1

job_type : FW

machine: localhost

date_conditions: y

days_of_week: all

start_times: "8:00"

watch_file: /tmp/autosys/file1.txt

term_run_time: 240    < ======

 

insert_job: job12

job_type: CMD

command: /tmp/autosys/scr.sh

machine: localhost

date_conditions: y

run_window: "8:00-12:00"

condition: done(fw1)       < ======

 alarm_if_fail: y
