How can i orchestrate batch executions?

Question

Description :

• I have created a batch that generates some zip files (ZIP_BATCH).
• I have another batch that sends those zips via ftp (FTP_BATCH).
• I have a main entry from which i can execute any batch i want (cmd -batch=batch_name).
• In that main entry class there some control and initialisation logic.

---

Problem:

• I want to execute the FTP_BATCH after ZIP_BATCH.
• I can't integrate FTP_BATCH as a job because of the main entry logic.

Is there an optimal way to orchestrate executions ?

Answer 1

JobStep is probably what you are looking for. It allows you to create a job of jobs and orchestrate them as needed.

Hope this helps.
