Hi,

we have a couple of jobs that have to run every night one after the other in a given order. Now I could achieve this by calling the jobs via a codeunit. However, I would like to have the jobs executed individually via the job queue. By including the jobs in a category, I can make sure that they run one after the other. But do I have any influence on the order in which they are called up, or is that just random, like with events?

Thanks in Advance
Ralf

Hi

no, it is not causal... the jobs follow the order you have decided on.

I do not think that the standard system offer that kind of control on the job queue.

So i think you have to customize it in one form or another at least as long as you want the jobs to run more than once every day.

If you want them to run only once a day you could control it by using start time and stop time.

I think the best way is actually to put the jobs to be executed at night into a category with a time delay.
If an error should then occur in a job, I then first have to increase the start times of the subsequent jobs before I set the faulty job to Ready again.

Thanks!

Hi, Personally I don't recommend separating these successive processes, you should put them in one execution code and run them sequentially.

It's a good idea to split the processing time, but if one of them takes too long, or there is an exception handling such as an error, it will not work properly.

If you want to divide these into different Job Queues, you need to read whether the previous one is completed in the next processing. Run when done.

Hope this helps as well.

Thanks.
