Issue/Introduction

We are trying to set up some jobs so that we get notified if they are late to start or complete.

From looking at the documentation the settings must_start_times and must_complete_times could be used.

But when we attempt to use them we see errors like the following:

 

CAUAJM_I_50323 Inserting/Updating job: job123

CAUAJM_E_18940 JIL keywords must_start_times and/or must_complete_times requires JIL keyword start_times or start_mins

CAUAJM_E_10302 Database Change WAS NOT successful.

 

Environment

Workload Automation AE

Resolution

 

The job the client was attempting to use the "must" setting for was in a boxjob.

While the box had date_conditions and start_times, the inner job did not.

The fields date_conditions and either start_times or start_mins are required in order to use the must_start_times and must_complete_times for a given job.

 

Valid usage:

 

insert_job: job1

job_type: b

date_conditions: 1

days_of_week: all

start_times: "09:00"

...

 insert_job: job2

 job_type: c

 command: /opt/some_transaction.sh

 machine: localhost

 box_name: job1

 date_conditions: 1

 days_of_week: all

 start_times: "09:03"

 must_start_times: "09:05"

 

 

 

Invalid usage:

 

insert_job: job1

job_type: b

date_conditions: 1

days_of_week: all

start_times: "09:00"

...

 insert_job: job2

 job_type: c

 command: /opt/some_transaction.sh

 machine: localhost

 box_name: job1

 must_start_times: "09:05"
