CA-7 triggering wait question

[RenateLynn Edwards]

My boss just asked me a question  (yea..  5:15 on a friday night of course  *g).  Good thing I don't have to schedule it tonight.  

He wants me to have a job trigger another job but wait 20 min.  I know there is the subtime parm but this job is coming from outside and we don't know exactly when it might run.  Any ideas?

We would insert a WAIT step as the first step of the JCL, something like this: //WAIT0A EXEC PGM=SUBTIME,PARM='D T|20’

I agree the Wait Step would be your best bet. 

[Jeffrey Holst]

Or, depending on requirements, a job that contains the single Wait step.

[Anon Anon]

You  could add a BTERM step to demand the second job

 

DEMAND,job=xxxxxxxx,time=+20

 

The advantage to this is that your first job doesn't sit in the system hogging an initiator for 20 minutes.

We use ARF to do that. The way we have it set, the job runs, but once it completes, CA7 will wait 20 minutes to mark it complete.
