Thank you

Another thing : What is Jil syntax checker or Jil verifier or Jil validator? Where is it available in autosys?

Regards,
Siva

I have a question regarding mutually exclusive conditions. There are two sets of jobs (around 12 in each set) that need to be run in mutually exclusive mode. Can I define a box for each set and set the condition of not running at the box level?

Would appreciate a response.

thx
Jay

Sorry I was not able to respond you on time. To answer your qn, if you want to create and manage autosys job there are different ways in my post I have already given different ways. And those are very effective. As per my understanding there is no such java API to create these jobs, but yes you can easily create one API which will read job spec and create autosys job accordingly.

Hi Krishna,
When we create a job as a part of Autosys box then the job status heavily depends on box status. If you start a box that will make all of the jobs inside box active that means ready to run. These jobs will start as per their start condition.
If we take the example that you have given, then job A is in running condition which is force started (assuming A is box name), job B is in status Success because it completed successfully, and remaining jobs C,D,E are in active state because those are part of the Box which is in running state.
Now when you kill the box the active jobs becomes inactive because they are part of the Autosys box which was killed.

And remember you cannot change the status of any job to ACTIVE. This is not permitted. Although you can set following status. RUNNING, STARTING, SUCCESS, FAILURE, INACTIVE, and TERMINATED.
Imp: Changing the status to RUNNING doesn’t start the job.

Hanumant.
