Viewing and Updating Resource Dependencies

Overview

The Resource Dependency panel in Daily Job Definition displays any defined resource dependencies for the selected job. When the panel contains defined dependencies, a blue circular indicator showing a count appears to the right of the panel name.

You can expand the panel to full-screen by selecting the full-screen button () at the far-right of the panel bar. Select it again to exit full-screen.

For conceptual background on resource dependencies, refer to Threshold/Resource Dependencies.

Required Privileges

Only users with the appropriate permissions can select the Lock button and update job properties. For details, refer to Required Privileges in the Accessing Daily Job Definition topic.

Adding or Updating Resource Dependencies

Changes made in Daily Job Definition take effect immediately. If the job has already run, changes take effect the next time the job runs.

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

1. Open Daily Job Definition for the target job in Admin mode. For navigation steps, refer to Accessing Daily Job Definition.

2. Select the Lock button at the top-right corner to switch to Admin mode. The button changes to a white unlocked lock on a green background when Admin mode is active.

   note

   The Lock button is not visible to users without the appropriate permissions.

3. Expand the Resource Dependency panel.

   

4. To edit or delete an existing dependency, select the dependency entry and make your changes or select the delete control.

5. To add a new dependency, select the green Add button (+). When the Resource Dependency dialog opens:

   a. Select the resource name from the list.

   b. Select Requires All to require all units of the resource, or enter the number of resource units the job requires in the Value field.

   c. Select Save to save your selections and close the dialog.

6. Select the Save button.

   note

   Select Undo to discard any unsaved changes.

Result: The resource dependency is saved to the daily job definition and takes effect immediately.

Dependency Status Indicators

After saving, each resource dependency in the panel displays a status indicator that shows whether the dependency condition is currently met.

Indicator	Meaning	Example condition
Green	Dependency is met	Current resource value is greater than the required value
Red	Dependency is not met	Current resource value equals the required value and more are needed

Available resource counts appear to the right of each entry in the format Available (in use / total).

note

SAM checks that the number of available resources exceeds the number required before marking the dependency as met.
