Understanding how an internetwork dependency is shown

This section describes a sample scenario about internetwork dependencies and how to link the job representing the internetwork dependency to the job stream where the dependency is defined. Assume that:

• You defined a job stream named ELISCHED running on workstation TWS206 containing a job named ELI with an internetwork dependency from a job stream TWS207#FINAL.MAKEPLAN running in a different HCL Workload Automation network.
• XA_MAST is the network agent defined in the local network to manage internetwork dependencies from jobs and job streams defined in that remote network.

Use the conman sj command to see the internetwork dependency set:

                                        (Est) (Est)
CPU    Schedule SchedTime Job State Pr Start Elapse RetCode Deps

TWS206#ELISCHE 0600 03/31 **** HOLD 10 (03/31)                  
                          ELI  HOLD 10                      XA-MAST::"TWS207#MYJS.JOB1"

where (03/31) represents the at time restriction set in TWS206#ELISCHE. Starting from (03/31) the status of TWS207#MYJS.JOB1 is checked in the remote network to see if the internetwork dependency XA-MAST::"TWS207#MYJS.JOB1" is satisfied.

If you run the command:

%sj XA-MAST#EXTERNAL;info

you see the list of jobs representing internetwork dependencies defined in jobs and job streams running in the local network from jobs and job streams defined in the remote network reachable through the network agent XA-MAST:

CPU      Schedule SchedTime  Job      JobFile                Opt  Job
 Prompt
XA-MAST #EXTERNAL
                             E8802332 TWS207#MYJS.JOB1

You can see the details about the job or job stream depending on TWS207#MYJS.JOB1 in the internetwork dependency represented by job E8802332 in the EXTERNAL job stream, by running the following command:

%sj @#EXTERNAL.E8802332;deps

The output shows the link between the dependent job and the internetwork dependency:

                                            (Est) (Est)
 CPU    Schedule SchedTime Job State Pr Start Elapse RetCode Deps

XA-MAST#EXTERNAL.E8802332 Dependencies are:


 TWS206#ELISCHE 0600 03/31 **** HOLD 10 (03/31)                    
                           ELI  HOLD 10                      XA-MAST::"TWS207#MYJS.JOB1"

The internetwork dependency check does not start until the job stream TWS206#ELISCHE matches its time dependency, (03/31), or is released.
