- In such a exceptional situation to achieve the business process goals with adherence to the SLA, some jobs can be excluded from the business process (job chains).
- A non critical job can be marked in a job chain either "-" skippable or "+" critical job during job chain development.
- If a situation arises where part of the job chain has to be skipped, JobScheduler admin can start the job
activate_critical_path.job.xml.Jobactivate_critical_path.job.xmlwill search through the JobScheduler configuration and set the non-critical job(s) as skip. - A job chain with non-critical job(s) set to skip by all the Orders( manually/scheduled )
- Once business process completes only with critical job, the job chains original state can be reset by the job
deactivate_critical_path.job.xml

- In such a exceptional situation job chain can have first node of the chain which checks the current time and if it finds late arrival of the file, triggers the job
activate_critical_path.job.xmlfor specific job chain. - Once process finishes successfully the last node of the job chain can start the job
deactivate_critical_path.job.xmlwhich will reset the job chain status back to normal with all the jobs set to executed.
