Case

Consider two job chains where the return code for a job in one of the chains is used to control further workflow as follows:

...

• The orderParameter value of 0 is shown in Line 56 of the listing.
• Line 66 shows that Job3 is exiting with return code 0.
• The end of processing of the node for Job3 is noted in line 70.
• Line 71 shows that the state is set for starting Job 4 Job4 - there is no mention of the generation of the order that will start JobChainB.

...

The next code block shows part of the log file for Order 1 Order1. This shows the log information for Job3 and the start of Job6. The following points are relevant:

...

• 1)  Give the return code, e.g. return_code = 0 signals success, in the ReturnCodes field
  
  • Syntax:
    • Individual return codes are separated by spaces (e.g. 1 2).
    • Return code ranges are inclusive and written 1..5 6..9
    • Return codes can only be specified once
  • Behavior:
    
    • Note that non-zero return codes can be used but will be seen as an errors in the originating job chain.
    • Should no <on_return_code> element match the current return code then JobScheduler will apply the job_chain_node@next_state (return code 0) or job_chain_node@error_state (other return codes) attribute.
• 2), 3)  Select the target job chain e.g. JobChain1 from the drop down list 
  
  •  only job chains present in the same folder will be available in the Job Chain dropdown list
  • Other job chains can be:
    • navigated to using the Browse button.
    •  specified specified using the syntax: /myFolder/myJobChain.
• 4)  Click on Add Order button to assign the Order to the JobChain1 
• 5)  Click on Apply (at the foot of the form)to make the changes in the job chain configuration
• Save the job chain configuration.
