Conditions between jobs in separate boxes

[AlHowarth]

AutoSys 11.3

Job BIR runs in Box D9, daily at 9PM
Job ADB runs in Box SU9, Sundays at 9PM
Job ADB needs the most current data loaded by Job BIR (from today's run).

I could add a condition s(BIR).  
But, since they are in separate un-linked boxes, if Box D9 doesn't run for some reason, could Job ADB accidentally run off yesterday's SUCCESS ?

How can I ensure BIR has ran before running ADB?


Thanks,
Al H

s(BIR,01.00)  

Use lookback time. This example will look back 1.00 for the sucessfull completion of the job. If it doesn't run, then job ADB does not have condition met.

That's perfect, I wasn't aware of that feature.
Thanks!

As Miguel mentioned you want to use lookback conditions.  I just wanted to add that the lookback can also be set to "0" which basically translates to 'condition is met only if the condition has run since the last time I ran'.  It can be useful in cases where there's variability in runtime.

I like that, thanks!
