Dependency Execution

[pavan shashikanth guddeti]

Hi All,

We do have a Scenario where we do have two jobs by name A and B.

A depends on B and if A is Ended ok then B can trigger.

But, we also require in other way where if A is Ended Not ok/Aborted then B should Start as a regular Execution.Can some one help us out here with this Scenario ?

Hi Carsten,

Thanks for your quick response but this Particular change of Properties will work only for my 2nd Scenario but can i know how it can satisfy my 1st scenario also ?

If A is ended ok Normally then my B should Execute as usual.

I am getting below issue with change of Properties where my Successor job is Skipping(but i require it to Execute as Normal Way)

Output of it :

Hi Pavan Shashikanth Guddeti,

I'm not entirely sure I understand. These scenarios are mutually exclusive:

• one, you want B to execute only if A failed: set it to "if A ENDED_NOT_OK, else skip task"
• two, you want B to execute if A works fine: set it to ENDED_OK, else skip task"

Or, if you want B to execute regardless of the status of A, set no dependency at all. Just leave it empty, that will make B execute regardless of how A ended.

Your screenshot would appear to show scenario one: Job A was ENDED_OK, the condition for B was "run if A ENDED_NOT_OK, else skip", and thus, B was skipped.

Best regards,
Carsten

yeah Carsten,

What you mentioned is true.

My requirement needs to Satisy both of your Scenario's.

• one, you want B to execute only if A failed: set it to "if A ENDED_NOT_OK, else skip task"
• two, you want B to execute if A works fine: set it to ENDED_OK, else skip task"

Can i know if both of them can be accommodated together?

Ahem ... didn't I already say this?

Or, if you want B to execute regardless of the status of A, set no dependency at all. Just leave it empty, that will make B execute regardless of how A ended.

There IS an empty choice in that drop-down where it says "ENDED_NOT_OK". You can select that empty entry to empty out the field.

Of course, you could also set "ENDED_NOT_OK" and "ENDED_OK" in two separate lines, then check the "at least one status matches" option - but that would possibly be silly, as those two "top level" states already encompass pretty much everything there is.

Thanks Carsten for your quick responses.

Actually, I didnt understand this line .

"There IS an empty choice in that drop-down where it says "ENDED_NOT_OK". You can select that empty entry to empty out the field."

If possible can you Share me any Screenshot related to it which will be much helpful
