Viewing and Updating Threshold Dependencies

The Threshold Dependency panel in Master Job Definition displays the threshold dependencies for the job. Each dependency causes the job to wait until a named threshold's current value meets a specified operator and value condition before the job is eligible to start.

For conceptual information, refer to Threshold/Resource Dependencies in the Concepts online help.

note
  • Select the full-screen button (Full Screen Panel Icon) on the far right of the panel bar to enter or exit Full Screen mode.
  • When the panel contains defined dependencies, a blue circular indicator (Job Properties Indicator) appears to the right of the panel name showing the count.

Adding or Updating Threshold Dependencies​

note

Only those with the appropriate permissions have access to the Lock button and can update job properties. For details about privileges, refer to Required Privileges in the Accessing Master Job Definition topic.

To add or update threshold dependencies, complete the following steps:

  1. Go to the master job definition page. See Accessing Master Jobs for instructions.

  2. Select the Lock button to enter Admin mode.

  3. Expand the Threshold Dependency panel.

  4. To add a dependency, select the + button. To update an existing dependency, select it from the list.

  5. In the threshold dependency dialog, complete the following fields:

    FieldDescription
    Threshold NameThe threshold whose current value must meet the operator and value requirements.
    OperatorThe comparison operator SAM uses to evaluate the threshold value. Valid values: EQ (equal), GT (greater than), LT (less than), GE (greater than or equal to), LE (less than or equal to), NE (not equal).
    ValueThe numeric value SAM compares against the current threshold value using the selected operator.
    Frequency NameOptional. The frequency to which this dependency applies. Leave blank to apply the dependency for all runs of the job. Select a frequency name to apply it only when the job runs under that frequency.

  6. Select Save to close the dialog.

  7. Select Save on the Master Job Definition page to commit the changes.

Result: The threshold dependency is saved to the job definition. SAM evaluates the dependency each time the job is eligible to start and holds the job until the threshold condition is met.
