Specifying Dependencies
JOBX and JOBZ adopt the attributes without change, but JOBY overrides the date.
JOBW does not use a catalog attachment as the source of its PARAM attributes.
Specifying Dependencies
The NetBatch-Plus application enables you to define and maintain job dependencies
on the one screen.
You can specify up to eight jobs (called master jobs) on which execution of another job
(the dependent job) depends. The NetBatch-Plus application passes dependency
information to the NetBatch scheduler when you submit the job. The scheduler then
manages the dependencies, making sure execution of the dependent job does not
start until the job’s masters release it.
For more information about job dependencies and how the scheduler manages them,
see the NetBatch User’s Guide.
