What
is a Job Sequence?
Job Sequences are a special type of BlueSky Integration Studio job that allow you to sequence a chain of events together to create a full process that can then be scheduled and/or easily executed via the Job Control window. In a job sequence, you can execute other BlueSky Integration Studio jobs (including other Sequence jobs), as well as create complex processing logic.
Job Sequences give you the flexibility to create very complex processes; including using such features as If-then-else logic, custom code objects, and all of the standard process oriented objects such as sending an e-mail, FTP, and shelling out to the operating system.
To create a job sequence, you simply select the File->New->Job Sequence menu item. You will then get a blank design window where you can start dragging and connecting the necessary objects. For example; in the sample illustration above, this job is calling 2 jobs, then executing some custom VB.NET code to determine if a new Sales file exists, if the sales file does exist it will run the LoadDailySales job.
It's that simple. Then, you simply save and compile the job and run it like any other BlueSky Integration Studio job!
