The Question is:
Is there a way that I can get a batch job to check the queue it is running in
to see if there are any jobs already running that have a job name that have a
similar job name and wait until those jobs have completed? Example: there are
5 jobs submitted wit
h job names of job1, job2, job3, job4 & job5. If job1 is submitted again it
will wait until job1 thru job5 have completed before starting.
The Answer is :
Consider the SYNCHRONIZE command, a job scheduler application
(commercial and freeware schedulers are available), or DCL code
that use the f$getqui lexical function to perform the desired
review of the current queue activity.
For information on the f$getqui lexical, topics include: (813),
(1240), (2159), (3951), (4546), (4568), (4903), (5188), (5471),
(5567), (5651), (5793), (5982), (6315), (6877), (8819), etc.
