Jobs should run sequential but only for some time

[former_member354355]

Hello,

I have a chain with several steps which runs one by one with statushandler Error=Continue. That works fine.

Usually the Jobs have a runtime less than 1 min.

If the runtime of a job is greater than 4min, the next job should start immediatally (parallel).

How could I handle this?

Best regards

Create a submit frame of every 4 min and submit the job with using submit frame.

Hi Dana,

This is an interesting case, the only option I see is putting a wrapper Redwood Script job around the individual jobs that submits the child and waits for 4 minutes max.

{
  Job j = jcsSession.getJobDefinitionByName("<your job definition>").prepare();
  jcsSession.persist();
  jcsSession.waitForJob(j, 4*60*1000);
}

This will leave Job j running as a child, but it will Complete itself, allowing the chain to continue.
