Jobs within Jobs
It is possible to schedule one job from another job. There are however some limitations and rules that must be understood when doing this.
1 A job that is called from another job is only ever allocated one thread. All tasks within the called job will therefore run sequentially.
2 A job can only have one running iteration. Therefore a called job will be blocked if that job is already running independently or as part of another job.
3 Any job dependencies for the called job are ignored. The parent's job dependencies are the only ones that are used.
4 A called job essentially runs as a separate job, so that if it fails both it and the parent job will show in a failed state. Once the problem is fixed the parent job should be restarted which will restart the called job.
Upon completion of adding tasks click the OK button.
Editing Jobs
Once jobs have been created they can be edited.
Note: A job can only be edited when it is not in a running state and only if the job is a scheduled job. Completed jobs remain in the list but only logs remain.
