In my case,

Job A - is the monthly job runs on last working day of the month (usually runs at 12:10 AM)
Job B - is the daily job (usually runs at 12:08 AM).

Both triggered by different front end jobs.

I want the Job A to run first, ahead of Job B. I cant change the schedule, as it have ;large impact.

I can make Job B hold for 2 mins on one day of the month, It wont have much impact. Please suggest me, on what condition I have to hold Job B until successful completion of Job A

Is it possible to use successor/Predecessor/Requirement conditions to make Job B run after successful completion of Job A?

If I make Job B as the successor of Job A, Will Job B runs on other working days without waiting for the Job A?

Please let me know If I am not clear.

I tried all the combinations and googled too.

Thanks a lot for your time:)

Your requirement is pretty vague
So you expect the job B to run after job A without chaning the schedule?

Without changing the scheduling criteria i.e. what day/time you can achieve what you want by dependency, The dependency only exists if both jobs are on the same 'plan' i.e. once a month, otherwise there is no dependency so your daily job will kick-off as usual.

But you should have asked your team mates before asking your scheduling group which should have been done before coming here.

I discussed with my Team mates already.

As suggested by you, Contacted Scheduling Team just now, Waiting for their reply.

As I am not a part of Scheduling tea, I don't know what IEHPROPHET do?
Lets Scheduling team handle it.

Thanks all for your precious time.

Sure I will update my solution once I got reply.

Please let me know any more details needed.

IEHPROPHET is a joke.

If you take of the standard prefix, IEH, you get PROPHET.

It sounds like "May be" condition in Control-M might help you.

It adds an In Condition only if the predecessor job exist else it ignores the condition.

So whenever Job A(month end one) is scheduled,Job B would wait on it,on other days Job B runs without waiting on Job A.

Anyways,the scheduling team that you have already contacted would be able to help you.

Thanks,
Anoop
