Job chains can be viewed and managed from within the Jobs tab.
Job Chain Listing
Existing job chains can be viewed by clicking the View Chaining link in the navigation bar below the tabs. You may optionally filter by selecting one or more source jobs to see which jobs are chained from those selected jobs. All or None links at the top of the selector allow you to easily make multiple selections or deselections. The selector title will indicate how many options are chosen at a given time. Click Reload to refresh the results table.
Clicking the link Chain Jobs links in the table will bring you to the Job Chain edit screen.
To create a new Job Chain, click the New Job Chain link in the top left of the results table, or New Job Chain in the navigation bar from any place underneath the Jobs tab.
Adding or Updating a Job Chain
When adding or updating a job chain, a source and target job must be selected, along with at least one trigger state.
The source job indicates the job whose completion will trigger the target job to be run.
The trigger states indicate which source job termination states will trigger the target job run. Default trigger states are selected when creating a new chain since they are the commonly used options, but they may be changed to whatever is required.
A schedule is optional and can be specified to restrict which times the target job may be spawned - if the source job terminates at a time that doesn't match the schedule, the target job will not be created.
Confirming Changes
Once you've completed your desired changes, click the Save button at the bottom of the form or the button in the left navigation area. You will either receive a save confirmation message as below, or a validation error message.
