Hi there,

We have a requirement to turn off job B from CA-7 as this job is no longer required to run.
Job B is one of the "TRIGGERED JOBS" of Job A.

what happens when we turned off Job B and did not remove it from "TRIGGERED JOBS" of Job A.

Appreciate your response.

Regards,
Shankar.

Are you saying that you have removed it entirely from CA-7 or simply the dependency on job A? If job A is the only reference to predecessors and job B has no ther scheduling criteria then it is just sitting there wasting resources. If it has other scheduling criteria then it may well execute but without its dependence on job A. What you really need to do is go and explain to your CA-7 team what exactly you want.

Thanks for your quick response.
Yes, you are correct, we are planning to remove Job B from CA-7.
Job A is triggering below 3 jobs
Job B
Job C
Job D.

If we completely remove Job B from Ca7 and don't remove Job B from Job A's triggering list , what happens ? as there wont be any job(Job B) to get trigger?
Should we also take care of removing it from Job A's triggering list?
