Job should not run within specific time after its predecessor has completed.

Issue/Introduction

We have a job which is released by a predecessor being completed. However we never want the job to be submitted between 3am and 4am. Is there an ESP parm that could be added to a job definition that would control this?

Environment

Component: ESP Workload Automation
Release: ALL

Resolution

Add a selfcompleting task that would be released by the predecessor job. 

1. JOBB will run whenever it is readied.
2. JOBB will release the JOBTASK SelfCompleting TASK PROCESS which will query the time. It will perform an action on JOBE resetting EARLYSUB if the timeframe falls between the time queried. 
3. If JOBB completes before the timeframe in question the task will release, complete and perform no action, releasing JOBE
4. If JOBB completes after the timeframe in question the task will release, complete and perform no action, releasing JOBE
