Defining an internetwork dependency

The syntax used to specify an internetwork dependency within a job stream definition is the following:

follows  Network_agent_name::remote_workstation#jobstreamname(time [date]).jobname

where the (time [date]) are specific to the time zone used on the workstation of the remote network the network agent is connected to; in our sample the time zone of MasterA. If (time [date]) is not specified in this syntax or if there is more than one job stream with the same (time [date]), the first job stream found is taken into account.

Assuming that:

• schedA is a job stream defined in the MasterA database.
• jobA is a job defined in the MasterA database.
• schedB is a job stream defined in the MasterB database.
• jobB is a job defined in the MasterB database.

you can define internetwork dependencies using the following follows statements:

To define an internetwork dependency of schedB from the job stream instance schedA(1100)

Use the following statement:

schedule schedB
      on everyday
      follows NetAgt::MasterA#schedA(1100)
      :
end

To define an internetwork dependency of jobB from jobA contained in the job stream instance schedA(1100)

Use the following statement:

schedule schedB
      on everyday
      :
      jobB
           follows NetAgt::MasterA#schedA(1100).jobA
end

You can also define internetwork dependencies of a job on a job stream or a job stream on a job.
