Job prerequisites are job submission criteria that must be met for a job to run. You can define the following types of job prerequisites:
Set user confirmation: Enables you to specify that a user must confirm as a prerequisite for the job, as described in Setting user confirmation.
In Condition: Enables you to specify one or more In Conditions which correspond to the successful completion of another job, as described in In Conditions.
Control Resource: Enables you to specify whether the job requires exclusive or shared access to a physical resource, such as tape drive, as described in Control resources.
Quantitative Resource: Enables you to specify the resource in the Control-M and, for each job, the quantity required/used by that job, as described in Quantitative resources. This does not apply to folder definitions.
When the scheduling criteria and all the job prerequisites are met, the job can be submitted.
For information on ignoring prerequisite conditions set by a predecessor jobs that is not scheduled, see Adjust Condition.
