How to add a predecessor and successor using ESP  IJ and IW commands

Environment

 

Resolution

There are two ways to accomplish this:

Example-#1: Application Monitor  

- Enter IJ command in "Application Monitor"  Next to a job you want to insert NEWJOB2 job.
   Specify the NXTJOB1 as a PRED to NEWJOB2.
   Enter 'Y' in the panel to complete the insert.

Do another IJ command in "Application Monitor"  to insert the NXTJOB1 job.
    Specify the NEWJOB2 as a SUCCESSOR to this NXTJOB1.
    Enter a 'Y' in the panel to complete the insert.

Example-#2: CSF

- Enter IW command in CSF to Insert a WOB (workload object) in freeform.  Code it like a normal Application adding the RELEASE and RUN statements. 
  In order to add a predecessors and successors you need the Application to be defined first.
  
  Example:  (Lets say you want to insert two jobs A and B with A releasing B in APPL JOBX)

- Enter IJ command for JOB A in "Application Monitor" on HOLD with (More inserts = 'Y')
   Define job B with PRED of job A (More inserts = 'N').
   Specify job A
   Process Actions.

This is what it would look like:

  APPL JOBX
  JOB A           
   RUN ANY        
   RELEASE B       
  ENDJOB  
  JOB B   
   RUN ANY
  ENDJOB
