Autosys Dependencies

Figuring out how dependencies work in Autosys

This is really just a note for myself, since it took me ages to find.

In Autosys, you can have jobs which depend on other jobs. It's not obvious how you express dependencies between jobs (and the confusing Java applet web UI doesn't help).

One stanza in the documentation happens to mention the dependency syntax while talking about something else. They look like this:

success(my_job_name) and success(my_other_job)

Nice.

There's also a relatively useful Autosys Cheat Sheet from CA.

(UPDATED to remove ^ mark - I understand this is used to resolve cross-instance dependencies. Thanks to our knowledgeable Autosys guy for spotting that!)

This won't be published anywhere, it's just in case I need to contact you.

You can use Markdown in your comments. Be sensible!

Sorry about this, but I don't want spam comments.
