How to skip a cyclic job that runs every hour if previous run is not completed already.

[Shivraj Khadanga]

Hi - I need help in  skip a cyclic job that runs every hour if previous run is not completed already. A solution was offered already which requires folder resources. But we are using the basic(free) version where folder resources are not supported. Is there a way to do this in basic version?

Hello,

Folder Resources are part of schedulix since Release 2.8.

I recommend upgrading to the latest Release 2.9.

Without folder resources you can just create a normal synchronizing resource at scope or job server level.
In this case you have to create a named resource for every job, batch or larger critical area you want to protect.

Have a look at the E019x_CRITICAL_REGION_xxxx examples.
