Threshold/Resource Dependency
The Threshold/Resource Dependency tab displays the threshold and resource dependencies defined for a job and provides controls to add, edit, and remove them. The tab is available in Job Master under the Administration topic, on the Dependencies tab of the Job Properties frame.
Tab layout
The tab contains a dependency filter panel and a dependency table.
Dependency filters (master jobs only)
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Job Related | When selected, the table shows dependencies that apply to all frequencies of the job. |
| Frequency Related | When selected, the table shows dependencies scoped to one or more specific frequencies. |
| Frequency List | Lists the frequencies defined for the job. Select one or more frequencies to filter the table when Frequency Related is active. |
Dependency table columns
The columns shown depend on whether you are viewing a master job or a daily job.
Master job view
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Frequency | The frequency the dependency applies to, or blank if job-related (applies to all frequencies). |
| Name | The name of the threshold or resource. |
| Operator | The comparison operator for a threshold dependency (=, ≠, <, >, ≥, ≤). Resources always use Requires. |
| Value | The numeric value the threshold must satisfy, or the number of resource units required. Displays All when the dependency requires all available units of a resource. |
| Type | Indicates whether the dependency is a Threshold or a Resource. |
Daily job view
The daily view includes the same columns except Frequency, and adds:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Current Value | The current value of the threshold or resource as of the last refresh. For resources, displays the current in-use count and the maximum. |
Action buttons
| Button | Description |
|---|---|
| Add | Opens the Threshold/Resource Dependency dialog to create a new dependency. |
| Edit | Opens the Threshold/Resource Dependency dialog for the selected dependency. |
| Remove | Deletes the selected dependency after confirmation. |
Threshold/Resource Dependency dialog fields
When you select Add or Edit, the Threshold/Resource Dependency dialog opens. The dialog contains the following fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Threshold/Resource | Select the threshold or resource from the list of all defined thresholds and resources. |
| Operator | For thresholds: select the comparison operator (=, ≠, <, >, ≥, ≤). For resources, the operator is fixed to Requires and cannot be changed. |
| Value | Enter the numeric value. For resources, selecting All sets the dependency to require all available units and disables the Value field. |
| Frequency | (Master jobs only) Select the frequency this dependency applies to, or leave blank to apply to all frequencies. |
OpCon prevents saving a dependency if the same threshold or resource is already defined for the same job and frequency combination.
