Report Decollating and Backup Mission Dependency

We recommend that the backup process (by Control‑D backup missions) depend upon the successful decollation of reports. The dependency can be established using a prerequisite condition. Parameter OUT of the report decollating mission must specify a prerequisite condition that is referenced by parameter IN of the backup mission. Using this method, backup occurs only when all the reports that must be backed up together were decollated.

It is possible to define different report backup 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 backup mission, each one distinguished by different basic scheduling criteria and different runtime scheduling criteria (prerequisite conditions, time, priority, and so on).

The following figure shows Report Decollating and Backup Mission Dependency:
