Report Decollating and Printing Mission Dependency

We recommend that the printing of bundles by Control‑D printing missions depend upon the successful decollation of reports. Dependency can be established using the prerequisite condition concept. Parameter OUT of the report decollating mission must specify a prerequisite condition that is referenced by parameter IN of the printing mission. Using this method, bundles start printing only when all the reports that must be included in them have been decollated.

It is possible to define different report‑printing dependencies for different scheduling dates (for example, regular dates vs. end of the month). This can be done by using multiple copies of the same printing mission, each one distinguished by different basic scheduling criteria and different runtime scheduling criteria (prerequisite conditions, time, priority, and so on).
