Job Sequence

    Wait for Jobs

The Wait for Jobs object is used to wait for 'x' number of jobs to complete before continuing on with the job sequence.  For instance; say you want to run 2 jobs in parallel, but wait for both of them to complete.  You would have 2 job objects, both with the WaitType set to RunNoWait, then have the Wait for Jobs object next in the sequence with its SelectedJobs property set to Job 1 and Job 2.

 

Properties

Alias

Alias identifier.  Aliases are used on all design objects to simplify coding and to ensure each object has a unique identifier.

Comments

Comment area to give descriptive text about the object and its purpose.

CheckEveryXSeconds

Number of seconds to wait between each attempt to determine if the jobs are still running.

OnJobAbort

Specifies the action to take if one or 'x' number of jobs happens to Abort.  

SelectedJobs

Clicking the ellipse button on this property allows you to select the jobs you want to wait for.

 

 

NotifyOnAbort

 

The NotifyOnAbort property allows you to e-mail someone for each one of these events.  For instance; if you have a critical nightly process that runs and you need to be notified if the job aborts.   Most cell phone and text pagers today also have a corresponding email address which makes it easy to also send a page message.

 

Name

Descriptive name for this object.  You can enter any text to describe the object.  When a job is selected, this property is set to the job name if it has not already been set by the developer.
