Starting a started task from a started task

Hi all, This may sound like a stupid question but is there a way to start a second started task from a running one when the currently running one completes. I know how to submit a batch job from a final step of a started task but I don't know how to do the same sort of thing to initiate

Re: Starting a started task from a started task

Started tasks are started by a console command START (S ). There are more variations to the command, but this is the basic one. If you want the same task run in parallel with the same tak, add a name (S .yyy). ITschak ITschak Mugzach *|** IronSphere Platform* *|* *Information

The OP wrote "at the moment Dallas has IPCS hosed up and unusable on our machine." So the questions is what the choices are until it's fixed. FWIW, I would certainly agree that problem analysis is much easier with IPCS, and I am normally very critical of the use of 19th Century formatted

Just to pile onto what Joe Monk said: Hogan was developed by Hogan Systems, bought by Continuum in 1995. A year or so later, CSC bought Continuum. At some point CSC rebranded Hogan to ConnectWise, but that never really "took". And a couple of years ago, CSC and DXC (formerly HPE, formerly HP

And that's the problem, in a nutshell. The reason I am looking to start another STC is that initiators may be down. If I knew initiators would be up, I would just submit a batch job and call it done. In fact, I do that today but want to avoid problems when initiators are not available. Jim
