Job components

Job components control job execution.

Component

Description

Start

Allows you to schedule a job and determine when that job begins. Start is the first component you add to any job.

Project

Identifies the project you want to run in the job. Use this component to run an individual project in a job.

Synchronizer

Controls job flow execution. Use this component to control the flow of the job depending on the status of previously executed projects.

You can define each project as critical or non-critical. Critical project failures cause the Synchronizer to signal failure.

Multi-Project

Provides a visual representation of the project groups within the job. Multi-Project combines the properties of the Project and Synchronizer components.

Use this component when your job consists of a large amount of independent projects. Projects can be executed in any order, even in parallel when used in multi-engine jobs.

Finish

Represents the end of a successful job execution.

Use this component to mark the successful end of a job. Before you add Finish to a job, your job must one contain one of the following job components: Synchronize, Project or a Multi-Project.

Error

Provides a visual representation of the end of a failed job execution.

Use this component to mark the end of a failed job. Before you add Error to a job, your job must one contain one of the following job components: Synchronize, Project or a Multi-Project.
