!ime Conditions in a +o3
Each :o' in a 'ox -ill run only once &er 'ox execution. Therefore" you
should not define #ore than one ti#e attri'ute for any :o' in a 'ox
'ecause the :o' -ill only run the first ti#e. 0f you -ant to &ut a :o' in a
'ox" 'ut you also -ant it to run #ore than once" you #ust assi!n
#ulti&le start ti#e conditions to the 'ox itself" and define no ti#e
conditions for the :o'. Re#e#'er also that the 'ox #ust 'e runnin!
'efore the :o' can start. $o not assi!n a start ti#e for a :o' in a 'ox if
the 'ox -ill not 'e runnin! at that ti#e. 0f you do" the next ti#e the
'ox starts the :o' -ill start i##ediately.
The follo-in! exa#&le illustrates a scenario that -ould not -ork
&ro&erly if &laced in a 'ox.
":o'4a" is defined to run re&eatedly until it succeeds. ":o'4re&ort" has
one startin! condition2the success of ":o'4a".
4o= *o0 Status Changes A22ect +o3 Status
0f a 'ox that is not runnin! contains a :o' that chan!es status" as a
result of a AORCE4START6O% or CBA+/E4STATUS e(ent" the ne- :o'
status could chan!e the status of its container 'ox. A chan!e of status
of the 'ox could tri!!er the start of do-nstrea# :o's that are
de&endent on the 'ox.
0f a 'ox contained only one :o'" and the :o' chan!ed status" the 'ox
status -ould chan!e.
The difference 'et-een "on hold" and "on ice" is that -hen an "on
hold" :o' is taken off hold" if its startin! conditions are already
satisfied" it -ill 'e scheduled to run" and it -ill run. On the other hand"
if an "on ice" :o' is taken "off ice"" it -ill not start" e(en if its startin!
conditions are already satisfied. This :o' -ill not run until its startin!
conditions reoccur.
The other #a:or distinction is that :o's do-nstrea# fro# the :o' that is
"on ice" -ill run as thou!h the :o' succeeded. >hereas" all de&endent
