Issue/Introduction
Scheduling a cyclic job with dependency to a secondary job.
Need to schedule a cyclic job with a dependency to a secondary job. The first job takes about 5 minutes to run and the second one about 1 minute, I need the cycle to kick off again 30 minutes after the initiation of the first job, so basically run every 30 minutes.

Resolution
Steps;
1. Use a 'Link' job at the end of the application that is, as a successor job to the second job.
2. In Define perspective -> Time Dependencies, setup the 'Link' job with a "Delay submission when eligible by" time of 30 minutes.
3. Use the following JavaScript script at job run time in the Link job (In Define perspective -> JavaScripts -> At job run time)
execTrigger('%APPL._event','ADD');
4. Trigger the Event to run the Application for the first time only.
When the Event triggered the Application, the last job (Link job) will run the execTrigger command to re-trigger the Event in 30 minutes so the cycle will kick off again every 30 minutes.
