To create a job

...

It is possible to schedule one job from another job. There are however some limitations and rules that must be understood when doing this.

1. A job that is called from another job is only ever allocated one thread. All tasks within the called job will therefore run sequentially.
2. A job can only have one running iteration. Therefore, a called job is blocked if that job is already running independently or as part of another job.
3. Any job dependencies for the called job are ignored. The parent's job dependencies are the only ones that are used.
4. A called job essentially runs as a separate job, so that if it fails both it and the parent job shows in a failed state. Once the problem is fixed, the parent job should be restarted which restarts the called job.

To create a job dependency

It is possible to make a job dependent on another job, using the Dependent On field in the Job Definition window.
