job dependency graph?

[Andrew Munn]

I see this talks about creating a DAG:

https://github.com/rundeck-plugins/ui-job-graph

Is there a way I can create jobs A, B and C and C starts when A and B complete successfully?

Thanks

Hi Andrew,

A good way to do that is to use Job State Conditional step in the Job C (maybe scheduled) pointing and evaluating the status of JobA and JobB (in your case latest succeeded execution).

I leave an example for testing, feel free to modify it:

JobA:

<joblist>
  <job>
    <defaultTab>nodes</defaultTab>
    <description></description>
    <executionEnabled>true</executionEnabled>
    <id>b152d59b-7d6d-440c-95ea-23dc9fc1db07</id>
    <loglevel>INFO</loglevel>
    <name>JobA</name>
    <nodeFilterEditable>false</nodeFilterEditable>
    <scheduleEnabled>true</scheduleEnabled>
    <sequence keepgoing='false' strategy='node-first'>
      <command>
        <exec>echo "hi, i am the job a"</exec>
      </command>
    </sequence>
    <uuid>b152d59b-7d6d-440c-95ea-23dc9fc1db07</uuid>
  </job>
</joblist>

Job B:

<joblist>
  <job>
    <defaultTab>nodes</defaultTab>
    <description></description>
    <executionEnabled>true</executionEnabled>
    <id>2eaf6d55-0000-49d6-9f02-9d94b64cc444</id>
    <loglevel>INFO</loglevel>
    <name>JobB</name>
    <nodeFilterEditable>false</nodeFilterEditable>
    <scheduleEnabled>true</scheduleEnabled>
    <sequence keepgoing='false' strategy='node-first'>
      <command>
        <exec>echo "hi, i am the job b"</exec>
      </command>
    </sequence>
    <uuid>2eaf6d55-0000-49d6-9f02-9d94b64cc444</uuid>
  </job>
</joblist>

JobC:

<joblist>
  <job>
    <defaultTab>nodes</defaultTab>
    <description></description>
    <executionEnabled>true</executionEnabled>
    <id>285fda04-288e-4566-99fb-d7f25fd9ad75</id>
    <loglevel>INFO</loglevel>
    <name>JobC</name>
    <nodeFilterEditable>false</nodeFilterEditable>
    <scheduleEnabled>true</scheduleEnabled>
    <sequence keepgoing='false' strategy='sequential'>
      <command>
        <step-plugin type='job-state-conditional'>
          <configuration>
            <entry key='condition' value='Equals' />
            <entry key='executionState' value='Succeeded' />
            <entry key='fail' value='true' />
            <entry key='halt' value='true' />
            <entry key='jobName' value='JobA' />
            <entry key='jobUUID' value='b152d59b-7d6d-440c-95ea-23dc9fc1db07' />
            <entry key='running' value='false' />
          </configuration>
        </step-plugin>
      </command>
      <command>
        <step-plugin type='job-state-conditional'>
          <configuration>
            <entry key='condition' value='Equals' />
            <entry key='executionState' value='Succeeded' />
            <entry key='fail' value='true' />
            <entry key='halt' value='true' />
            <entry key='jobName' value='JobB' />
            <entry key='jobUUID' value='2eaf6d55-0000-49d6-9f02-9d94b64cc444' />
            <entry key='running' value='false' />
          </configuration>
        </step-plugin>
      </command>
      <command>
        <exec>echo "i am the job c"</exec>
      </command>
    </sequence>
    <uuid>285fda04-288e-4566-99fb-d7f25fd9ad75</uuid>
  </job>
</joblist>

Another option is to create a workflow based on data values similar to this:

About the DAG Graph plugin, it doesn't work under 3.2 yet (only under Rundeck 3.1 in my tests).

You can follow the issue here:

PD: I deleted the last message to fix JobC :-)

Just updating this thread: UI Job Graph plugin now is usable on Rundeck 3.2 and 3.3 branches on the latest update.
