Chain Job

The Chain Job page allows you to modify a chain job's Catalog Label that appears within the Batch Catalog. A Resource ID can also be assigned to the selected chain job. The parent folder’s Resource ID is defaulted to this field; however, it can be changed to a different value or the field can contain a blank value. If the defaulted value is not changed and the parent folder’s Resource ID changes or is deleted, then the value in this field will also be changed or deleted. Note: If entered, the Resource ID must be valid on the Application Resources table with a Resource Type of Job. All jobs associated with this Chain Job must contain the same Resource ID entered here.

The Item Parameters section allows you to add parameters with a default value that can then be inferred to child jobs within the chain that use the same parameter. If a valid value does not exist for a parameter at the chain/job level, then Advantage will infer the value of the parameter from the "closest" parent folder/parent chain record that includes the same parameter. The parameter value can be changed when scheduling a job, if the Override check box is selected for the parameter on this page.

Note: This page is accessed by selecting Edit for an entry on the Setup Batch Job page, where the Item Type is Chain Job.
