PeopleSoft Jobs - Child Processes

PeopleSoft jobs can contain sub jobs, which can be replicated in the Automic Web Interface as objects of type JOBD. If you enter scripts on all Process pages of a PS job, they are processed in the following order: 1. Pre-Process, 2. Process, 3. Child Post-Process, 4. Post-Process

On this sub page of the PS job definition you can enter a script that will be processed as soon as an individual child process ends. Thus, the result of the process can be analyzed immediately. The following applies:

The script is processed for each individual child process.
The scrip is processed immediately after the child finishes

Prerequisites

First, you must configure the PeopleSoft job to instruct the agent to create a JOBD child task per started process. For this purpose, you activate the Replicate Children and the Process Ends with Error: Suspend options in the commands that provide this possibility. For example:

As a result, as soon as it is started, the PeopleSoft job creates a JOBD child task for each command at runtime. As soon as the child finishes, the script entered on the Child Post Process page is processed

Note that child processes can also have child processes themselves.
