Adding Tasks to the Job

You can use the Tasks page to:

  • Add, delete, or edit tasks of various job types

  • Set task condition and dependency logic

  • Add task error handling

You must define at least two tasks in order to set Condition and Depends On options. Task conditions define states in which the task will be executed. Condition options include:

  • Always — Task is executed each time the job is run.

  • On Success — Task execution Depends On the successful execution of another task.

  • On Failure — Task execution Depends On the execution failure of another task.

The Error Handler Task is often a "clean-up" step that can undo the partial state of the job. The Error Handler Task executes if any task of the multi-task job has an error. Errors are a more severe form of failure, usually meaning that the job system could not run the task. Failures normally indicate that the task ran, but failed. The Error Handler Task does not affect the job execution status. Use the Select Task Type page to specify the job type of the task to be used for error handling.
