Scheduling a job to start 5 min. after another job

I want to schedule a job such that it should run after the 5 minutes from the start of another job.

Suppose, if job 'X' runs at 12:00AM then my job 'Y' should run at 12:05AM. If job 'X' runs at 11:00AM then my job 'Y' should run at 11:05AM.

Please let me know how this is possible using CA-7

Can we know why you are waiting for 5 minutes time gap?

As per my knowledge, CA7 is not having any option to do this.

You need to write one program to capture timings in Job X & create a control card dynamically to trigger that job Y using SASSTRLR after after 5 minutes.

Before that can I know the business need for doing so? Why the gap of five minutes?

The first job will set an Indicator in the database to "Y" and we need to start after the indicator is set. The first job runs for 2 hours and we don't need to wait until the completion of that job for triggering the second job.

I am not aware if CA7 has such facility.

But What I would have done in this case is Create one dataset when you make your indicator to "Y".

Make second job as dataset triggered. At the end of this job delete this dataset.

Hi,

why not make the step that sets the indicator a separate job. ?

As gcicchet mentioned ...

That's exactly the only way it should be done !!!
