Detect Spawned Jobs

Indicates whether to detect and monitor jobs that were spawned by the current SAP job. A spawned job is a job created by another (parent) job, and monitored by Control-M. The following options are available:

Select Parent (current) job definition or specific job definition in the Detect and Create checkbox.
Select Job ends in Control-M only after all child jobs complete on SAP checkbox to enable a job to end only after all child jobs complete.
Select Job completion status depends on child jobs status checkbox to enable Control-M to wait for all child jobs to complete.

If you select Start Spawned job, Control-M for SAP checks the status of each spawned job and starts any spawned job with Scheduled status.
