• The first job split1 sets a number of parameters by use of a pre-processing Monitor for later control of successful completion of jobs. For each job to be controlled a pair of parameters is used:
  
  • The first parameter of the pair is a flag which is used for later checking if the dependent job is successfully completed.
    • The value of this parameter is initialised with "0" and is modified by the dependent jobs to "1".

    • In the above example the following parameters are used:

      • job4_successfully_completed=0 which will be checked by Job8 and Job11
      • job6_successfully_completed=0 which will be checked by Job11
      • job12_successfully_completed=0 which will be checked by Job13
  • The second parameter of the pair describes to which job chains the information about successful completion is broadcasted.
    • The example specifies the job chains for which a suspended order is continued if the current job completes successfully.
    • The current job chain  (here JobChain1) always is the first in the list.
      
    • The job chains can be specified by an absolute path or by a relative path to the current job chain.
      

    • In the above example the following values are used:

      • job4_commits_completion_to="/controlParallelExecutionOfJobChainsExample/JobChain1;JobChain4;JobChain5"

      • job6_commits_completion_to="/controlParallelExecutionOfJobChainsExample/JobChain1;JobChain5"

      • job12_commits_completion_to="/controlParallelExecutionOfJobChainsExample/JobChain1;JobChain4;JobChain6"

• The dependent jobs (here Job4, Job6 and Job12) use a post-processing monitor that implements commands to resume the orders
  
  • in all job chains which are specified by the commits_completion_to parameter
  • where the value of the successfully_completed parameter is set to "1".
• The jobs that wait for dependent jobs make use of a pre-processing monitor that checks the corresponding successfully_completed parameters.
  • These jobs use a task parameter dependent_jobs that specifies a list of dependent jobs.
  • In above example these are
    • Job8 : dependent_jobs="Job4"
    • Job11: dependent_jobs="Job4;Job6"
    • Job13: dependent_jobs="Job12"

• The above described pre- and post-processing monitors include the attached control_parallel_execution_of_job_chains.js JavaScript like this:
