Technical Background
Argent WorldView 1507-A incorporates the following existing options of the Argent Job Scheduler GUI:
Rerun Job
The Rerun Job option is to rerun the selected Job instance whose execution has been completed
When a Job instance is subjected for rerun, a new instance of the Job is created
The Rerun option is applicable to the Job instance of the following status
- Aborted
- Ended
- Failed

- Cancelled

Run Job Now – If Dependencies Are Met
The ‘Select Action’ combo option Run Job Now – If Dependencies Are Met is for executing the selected Job instances by honoring Dependency
Setting a Dependency condition for a Job ensures that a previous Job has completed as expected or a condition has been met prior to running a Job
Jobs can have three types of dependencies:
- File Dependency
- Job Dependency
- ODBC Dependency
File Dependency
Checks if the specified file is present (and optionally has or has not been modified in XX minutes) before executing the Job
Job Dependency
Checks if the specified Job has completed with an expected exit code within the past XX minutes, before executing the main Job
ODBC Dependency
Checks an executed ODBC database query to see if an expected value is returned; if so, run the Job
To perform the action Run Job Now – If Dependencies Are Met, the Job instances must be either in the Ready or Held status
Run Job Now – Ignore All Dependencies
The option Run Job Now – Ignore All Dependencies is for executing the selected Job instances by ignoring Dependency
The Job instances must be either in the Ready or Held status
Cancel Job
The scheduled Job instance of the following status can be cancelled
- Ready
- Held
