Products

Issue/Introduction

Have the need to use LINKs or TASKs as an external in other applications.

Environment

Component: ESP Workload Automation

Release: All Releases

Resolution

You can use a TASK PROCESS as an external into other applications. LINK PROCESS cannot be used.

Example:

APPL HOMEAPP has a selfcompleting task AVAIL1.RESDEF that will reset a resource. The same selfcompleting task is an external in APPL AWAYAPP referring to job AVAIL1.RESDEF in HOMEAPP. This will complete the external when the task completes in HOMEAPP.
