Adjust Condition

Determines whether to ignore prerequisite conditions normally set by predecessor jobs if the relevant predecessor jobs are not scheduled.

NOTE: This parameter is relevant only for SMART Folders.

Additional information	Description

Usage	Optional
Format	Valid values are: Yes – Ignore relevant prerequisite conditions. No – Do not ignore relevant prerequisite conditions. Dummy [Control‑M for z/OS as of version 6.2.xx only]. Order as a PSEUDO job any job with scheduling criteria that are not satisfied on the current ODATE, with the File Path/Member library parameter of the job set to DUMMY. For more information, see ADJUST CONDITIONS in the job production parameters chapter in the Control‑M for z/OS User Guide. [Control-M/Server] The CTM_FOLDER_ADJUST_DUMMY configuration parameter controls the creation of dummy jobs that run in place of unscheduled prerequisite jobs. This parameter is relevant only when Adjust Condition is set to Y. The dummy job contains all the actions configured in the original job definition, not just the conditions required to continue with the flow. It performs all actions configured in the original job, such as sending notifications or force a job when the job ends OK. NOTE: The Control-M/Server CTM_ADJUST_COND_SCOPE configuration parameter controls whether jobs in the SMART Folder must ignore conditions set by jobs in the active jobs database that are not scheduled, or to ignore conditions set by jobs in the SMART Folder that are not scheduled. In the first case, the Control-M/Server CTM_AJF_ADJUST_COND_INCLUDE_SMART_FOLDER_ENTITY configuration parameter ignores the condition of the SMART folder entity when it is set to Y.In the latter case, the missing conditions are removed from the job at order time. This parameter is relevant only when Adjust Condition is set to Y.

The Adjust Condition parameter is applied to all jobs in a folder. It defines job dependencies in the folder as being either conditional or absolute.

Conditional and absolute dependencies

Absolute job dependency
Each job in a folder runs only after all the predecessor jobs in the folder have run. All prerequisites In Condition for a job must exist in the Conditions/Resources table before the job can run.
Select No in the Adjust Condition list in the Control‑M Properties pane.
Conditional job dependency
Each job in the folder waits for its predecessor jobs to run only if the predecessor jobs in the folder are scheduled. Prerequisite condition requirements are ignored and the successor job runs if a predecessor job is not scheduled. The other runtime scheduling criteria for the job must be satisfied.
Select Yes in the Adjust Condition list in the Control‑M Properties pane.
