How to make sure that an external dependency with an alias in the JOBP will be taken into account and the JOBP will continue to execute. In order for the external dependency with an alias to be taken into account, you have to make sure that when you execute the external dependency job you specify the Alias name.
The alias name can also be specified when using theACTIVATE_UC_OBJECT function to execute a a job.
ACTIVATE_UC_OBJECT(Object name, [WAIT], [Logical Date], [TimeZone], [Start time | Period object], , [PASS_VALUES], [Queue], [Alias], [ENABLE_PROMPTS], [Time Limit], [TERMINATE], [Run])
If the Alias is not specified when executing the external job, the JOBP will not continue to execute. The external dependency job will stay in "Waiting for external dependency" status.
