Setting BOX Job INACTIVE In Autosys.

[VEERA V]

Could you please advise on how AutoSys works on the below scenario 

 

Scenario 1:

 

Consider a BOX having 2 Jobs and one of them is failed state and Box job is terminated state.

Box job having date condition to run daily at 2 AM.

BOX job is stand alone (No upstream/downstream) 

 

Question: If we change the status from TERMINATED of BOX job to INACTIVE state, all the jobs inside the box will go to inactive state.

Will the Box will run on Next day 2 AM? 

 

Scenario 2:

 

Box job having date condition to run daily at 2 AM.

BOX job is stand alone (No upstream/downstream) 

Question:

 

Consider a BOX having 3 Jobs and 3rd one is failed state. if we set the 3rd job to INACTIVE , Will the box go to Success?

Will the Box will run next day 2 AM including the 3rd job which was set to INACTIVE on previous day.

 

Regards,

Veera

Hi Veera,

Scenario 1: Yes, Inactive job will trigger as long as you can see next start time.

Scenario 2: Yes, changing inactive status to job 3 will mark box job as success and job 3 which is marked inactive also will run on next start time.

Hi Arihara,

Thanks for the clarification.

If we marking INACTIVE a job or BOX, it has to have a date_condition to run next cycle else, its more equilant of never going to run case.

Advise if I have misunderstood.

Thanks,

Veera

Hi Veera,

Yes, date condition must be enabled to trigger job automatically. If no date condition is enabled job will be idle forever.
