You have a critical job that must run only after three other jobs have successfully completed. How would you set up job triggering to achieve this?
- Implement job dependencies using the COND parameter in JCL, specifying the completion status of the prerequisite jobs as a condition for executing the critical job.
- Use IBM Workload Scheduler (IWS) to define job dependencies and create a job flow, ensuring that the critical job is scheduled only after the successful execution of the three prerequisite jobs.
- Use the JCL IF/THEN/ELSE condition to check for successful completion of the three prerequisite jobs before triggering the critical job.
- Utilize the JES2 job scheduler to create a job queue with dependencies, ensuring the critical job is placed in the queue only after the successful completion of the three prerequisite jobs.
Using the COND parameter in JCL is an efficient way to set up job triggering based on the completion status of prerequisite jobs. This approach provides flexibility and ease of maintenance in managing job dependencies.
