Can we set dependencies between groups.

[Mpatt]

Hi,
Is it possible to set up dependencies between groups, such that Group A will run, and Group B will only run once Group A has successfully completed?

TIA,

:M

Not via the resources. However, if you start the groups via a script, you can easily do this.

you could use commandline to start the groups manually via cronjob or script. The savegrp command always gives you an return-code unequal to zero if the backup fails.

You can check this on Unix with: echo $?
On Windows with: echo %ERRORLEVEL%

you could start the groups something like:

savegrp <groupname-A> && savegrp <groupname-B>

in this situation the second savegrp-command gets started only if the first one succeeded (return-code of 0).
When you only take one & the second group starts without checking the return-code also if the first group failed.

This work's on Unix and also Windows.

Hope this helps
