hi, hopefully a straight forward one...

I have a job that I want to add a condition to - to prevent it from running unless another job has completed successfully.. *today*

I can see how to add a Visual Cron job as a condition - but that only lets me check the exit status of the job. If the job completed successfully but yesterday that needs to be a failure condition for me.

I can see how to add a variable as a condition, and access the last executed date of the job I want to check, but I'm not sure how to compare it to a time (I was thinking to check last execute date > midnight), so I could then combine it with the condition with the exit status of the job.

Can anyone help on this?

Solved this one by adding an extra dependent Event log trigger of type (Visual Cron job completed successfully) to the task. I set the wait period to a finite 1 hour for the dependency between triggers which takes care of the problem of checking job completed today.

Thanks for the feedback!

I have a similar situation I need to come up with a solution on and I don't quite follow what you did. I have 2 manually executed jobs but the second one must check that the first one completed successfully within a rolling 24hr window from one the 1st job last finished. I looked into the event trigger - visualcron Job complete successfully but in my testing that just has the job automatically run on a successful run of the job you are watching and I need a manual execution. So like you, I went down the condition road and the variables seem to be the most likely option but the data type of date is not there to do a proper compare. Before I dive-in and roll my own .net method to do this, any other way anyone has figured out to have a date compare condition against a last job execution value?
