Autosys job to auto-update itself as SUCCESS if no response from CMD

Question

In my Autosys box scheduled to run every week, I have 2 jobs:

• Job1 - Call up a shell script to generate a file
• Job2 - Call up a shell script to transfer the generated file

What happened is that for Job2, even though the file has been successfully transferred, there is no exit code from the shell script. This resulted in Job2 and the box being in RUNNING state and prevent the box from running at the next week schedule.

The ideal way is to amend the transfer shell script (in Job2) to return a proper exit code. But I do not have access to the shell script to make any change.

In JIL, is it possible to achieve either one of the following:

1. immediate after Job2 CMD execution, mark Job2 as success, OR
2. after X minutes of Job2 CMD execution, mark Job2 as success

Answer 1

Adding the term_run_time attribute to the JIL of Job2 will terminate the job if it has been running for more than the number of minutes specified.

For example, term_run_time: 60 sets a 60 minute termination timer.
