Detect Spawned Jobs

Indicates whether to detect and monitor jobs that were spawned by the current SAP job. A spawned job is a job created by another (parent) job, and monitored by Control-M. The following options are available:

Select Parent (current) job definition or specific job definition in the Detect and Create checkbox.
Select Job ends in Control-M only after all child jobs complete on SAP checkbox to enable a job to end only after all child jobs complete.
Select Job completion status depends on child jobs status checkbox to enable Control-M to wait for all child jobs to complete.

If you select Start Spawned job, Control-M for SAP checks the status of each spawned job and starts any spawned job with Scheduled status.

The extractor process must be configured to detect spawned jobs and started. For more information, see Extractor Management.

NOTE: The specified job must exist in the same folder as the current job.
