I have job with two steps and both steps are submitting two different jobs
Is it possible to execute the step2 based on completion of job (RC) which is submitted in the prior step. if so can some body provide me the details |

NO!
cross jobs step-condition-code checking is possible ( to some extent ) only thru a scheduler |

But if the job with the RC in question is submitting the second job, can the RC be passed as a SET type parameter? |

Hi,
why have a job submit another 2 jobs ? Why not submit the real job and if rc of 0 then submit the next job.

That sounds like "there is no solution apart from scheduler"....... |

Hi,
even a scheduling tool would not fix this problem, how would you prevent step2 from executing ?

No imagination?
Think about what the OP is trying to do, imagine a solution....
It's fun to play with problems as they 'stage' in your mind.....grin..... |

What we have currently is -
Job A will submit jobs B and C. We want job C to run based on conditions from B.
My solution is have job A submit job B... The submission of job C is a step in job B and that step that'll submit the job has the COND parm in it coded for whatever condition it is that you'll want job C to run. |

Hello,
What is the reason for these jobs submitting each other?
Sounds like a single job with proper conditon code testing would work just fine  |

| well, as I understand it... Job A curently submits B and C... veena_nagesh2002 wants job C submitted conditional of the RC of job B. How can job A know what the return code of job B is ? Not to mention we don;t even know how ling it would take job B to finish. |

If this was implemented as a single job with condition code testing, it would not matter. Step(s)A would run, then step(s)B, then step(s)C as determined by the COND= testing all within the same job.
Just because something runs "some way", does not mean it has to run that way forever. If the requirement has changed or is now better understood, it may make good sense to modify the process. |

I don't believe you understand what's required here. Veena doesn't care about the step that submits the job. It's always going to be 0. Then step 3 which submits job C will always run.
He wants to have job C submitted based on the return codes that job B gets. not what the step that submitted job B gets (which will always be 0). And I'll bet without even knowing what it is that job B does, step 3 would've already submitted job C before job B is even done. |

Sorry, but i believe i completely understand what is needed - at least from a business perspective.
What i do not understand is the stubbornness (not Veena's - no response for a while from Veena, but yours) to maintain/implement the 3 job architecture. I see no real reason to try to dance around the current issue. If all is done in one job, all of the "scheduling" issues go away.
Maybe Veena will explain why there is a need to run 3 separate jobs. . . If not, it is all just speculaton. |
