Defining an internetwork dependency

About this task

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.
