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.
