Hi,

In SM36

You've already scheduled JOb1 right?

suppose. it has Job name Z_JOB1.

While scheduling second job enter any name like Z_JOB2.

then click on Start condition..then enter Z_JOB1 after clicking on 'After JOb' button.....I hope you understand..

Yes... Only the first time. This is why that feature is not used that much. I think there are 3rd party tools that help with this.

With regard to SM36, usually scheduling multiple daily/hourly periodic jobs are the way to go.

To start off, you can estimate a time when the preceding job will complete.

To be more sure, you may want to have a last step of the previous job- as a separate program to write a file or something, indicating that it has completed. Then the first step of the next job can be a separate program looking for this file. Once the file is there, the next job can start. Don't forget to erase it for the next time.

I hope that this helps.
