One Autosys job in multiple boxes

How to assign more than one box to a job?

Boxes: B1, B2

Jobs: V, W, X, Y, Z

B1 has V, W, and Y running in same sequence.

B2 has W, X and Z running in same sequence.

So, how to put W in B1 and B2 both?

Solution

  • Assigning a single job to multiple box is NOT allowed,

    Alternative, Create two jobs of W such as JOB_W_1 and JOB_W_2 with different names but with the same command and place them in separate boxes

    Incase you don't want both the job to run simultaneously, use the condition for JOB_W_1 as notrunning (JOB_W_2) or done (JOB_W_2)

    Job Tree would look like

    ├── BOX_1
│   ├── JOB_V
│   ├── JOB_W_1
│   └── JOB_X
└── BOX_2
    ├── JOB_W_2
    ├── JOB_Y
    └── JOB_Z
