Basic dependancies

The next step is to understand basic dependancies

The method used below is not the best method for dependancies but is a short introduction to the theory behind dependancies

Feel free to download an run the below script as it setup a job that will :

Create a Parent "Sleep job" with a range of 60
Create a Blocked Child "Sleep job" that waits for the Parent to complete before starting

Below is the code with commented explanations of its contents

This job uses

job['waitfor'] = parentJobID

To assign the dependancy to the child job so that it waits for the Parent job to complete

Note: The child job will run no matter the outcome of the Parent job whether it fails or completes

You can create as many Child jobs as you wish

Try copying the child job and pasting it into the script again ... This will create 2 child jobs dependant on the completion of the parent
