start_time and look-back - how long will a job remain Activated

  • 1.  start_time and look-back - how long will a job remain Activated

    Posted Apr 20, 2018 11:07 AM

    Hello,

     

    JobB has starting dependencies as follows:

    - condition: s(JobA, 01:00)

    - start_time: 14:00

    - run_day: fri

     

    If, at 14:00, the condition s(JobA, 01:00) is not satisfied, how long will JobB remain Activated, and waiting for JobA to run and fulfill condition s(JobA, 01:00)?

     

    Thanks a lot in advance for any assistance!

    As far as I know, there is no set limit to how long JobB would wait. Unless you do something manually to JobB that causes it's date condition to reset (force start it or update it in jil), It will run immediately after the next time JobA completes successfully, regardless of how far in the future that is. The only exception would be if JobB is in a box and its parent box is not running at the time JobA completes. In that case, JobB would start immediately after the next time its parent box starts.
