CA7 - Pre-Posting Requirement before job is in queue

[melgin22]

Is it possible to 'pre-post' a requirement in ca7, even before the job comes into the queue.

By 'pre-post' I will explain with the following example:

For example, say I have ca7 job setup like below.
Job1 triggers Job2
Job2 triggers Job3

Job3 triggers Job4
    * Job4 also has requirement on Job0 (Job0 is an on demand job and may not always run)

Job1 takes 3 hour to run

Job2 takes 3 hour to run

Job3 takes 3 hour to run

 

Say we are kicking off Job1 at 8pm.

Job1 completes at 11pm.  Job2 completes at 2am.  Job3 completes at approx. 5am.

 

Is it possible to 'pre-post' the requirement on Job0, so that when Job4 comes into the queue at 5am it automatically runs without having to post the Job0 requirement.  Ideally in this example, I'd like to 'pre-post' the Job0 requirement on Job4 at 8pm when I am starting Job1.

FYI, I've moved this question from the CA Automation community to the WLA one where it belongs.

Melgin,

Do you have to post Job4 when Job0 does not run?

If you want to pre-post when Job1 start running, why even have Job0 as requirement?

I have not heard of pre-posting but if the requirement is really needed you could run a batch job to Skip that requirement on the next run only if Job4 at the same time Job1 runs. Just a thought.
