22.2 Creating a generic system job

ClosedContext

Generic system jobs, or system jobs with a trigger, are created via job templates. They can be selectable, but they should not be when used in a cloud workflow.

To create a generic system job

  1. Create a job template that sets the GENERICSYSJOB attribute.
  2. Create a trigger that meets the requirements detailed in Generic system job trigger requirements and make it the value of GENERICSYSJOB.
