Setting initiate conditions

The initiate list is made up of jobs that are executed upon completion of the currently selected job. A job can have any number of initiate jobs. On the completion of a job, all initiate jobs are readied for execution.

Each initiate branch can be conditioned only to occur under certain circumstances. Any of the conditions being true is enough to allow the initiate to execute (OR condition). The following conditions can be applied to an initiate:

• Severity level (success, warning, error and fatal) - or the numeric value of the code can be specified. The initiates are entered in a list that can be specified with the job entry in the database.
• Completion status - Completion status of the job is 1 if successfully completed and 0 if failed.
• Expression is true - An expression can check the status of variables.
• Comparison is true - A comparison between a parameter or variable and a value (including predefined values such as $Day or $Time).

The field in the left hand corner represents the job that will be initiated by the currently selected job. It may be changed by entering the correct job or using the Browse button to select a specific job.

If no conditions are added, the currently selected job will execute the initiates when it completes. By clicking on the More button, additional conditions may be put on the prerequisite. The if condition may be any of those mentioned above.

As many as five conditions may be added to the prerequisite definition. The relationship between the conditions is an OR condition. In other words, if any of the conditions is met it will initiate the subsequent job. To remove conditions, click on the Less button.
