How do we add dependency problem

[Ram Kallamadi]

I have a dependency condition based on exit code. JobA is depending on JobB. Below is dependency we have.

(e(jobB) = 1 |  e(JobB) = 0)

possible exit codes are 0,1,7. We don't want to run when exit code is 7.

when JobB is on ICE JobA is not triggering? Why

[Bryan Kelleman]

Hi Ram. If I’m following your example correctly, jobA won’t run because jobB is simply ON ICE. Start condition isn’t met on jobA.

ChatGPT is AutoSys aware and can assist with some of the nuances with dependencies and statuses. I tossed your question in there and the output is verbose and explains along the way. Hope this helps.

ON ICE is treated like SUCCESS.

[Alexander Liskow]

Hi Ram,

the problem is, that a job on ice won't create an exit code value if it is being executed.

Instead of using On Ice, You can use On No Execution for job a.

This state will also not execute the job when it's triggered, but it will always create an exit code value of 0, so that dependent jobs can work with it as dependency.

In additon On No exec will check for the dependencies of the job, which is set to No Exec. This ensures the correct sequence of the job chain.

On Ice however will not as it creates an success event immediatetly when the job chain is started.

[Michael Woods]

I would agree with Alexander's suggestion of using ON_NO_EXEC as opposed to ON_ICE.  it maintains the original run order of the jobs, while also not running the job and behaving as if it ran to success.

Regards,

Mike
