A REQ 0402 243/1901 *NONE* 243/1910 ALL- 001 AUTO 001

------------------------- REQUIREMENTS STATUS -----------------------
_______ INTERNAL JOB=C DATE/TIME=12243/0100

after 1 hour schid 2 show like below

A REQ 0402 243/1901 *NONE* 243/1910 ALL- 002 AUTO 001

------------------------- REQUIREMENTS STATUS -----------------------
_______ INTERNAL JOB=C DATE/TIME=12243/0200

A REQ 0402 243/1901 *NONE* 243/1910 ALL- 003 AUTO 001

------------------------- REQUIREMENTS STATUS -----------------------
_______ INTERNAL JOB=C DATE/TIME=12243/0300


The Job A(schid001) which sould completed at 0001 am failed some reason and it fixed at 3'o clock (2 hours dely) .As soon as job A (schid 001) fixed at 3
it triggers job B(schid 002) runs at 3'o clk and it trigger job A (schid02) too ,

My question is now job A has two sccessor's since it running on 3.15 'o clock so it will be like this below

A REQ 0402 243/1901 *NONE* 243/1910 ALL- 002 AUTO 001

------------------------- REQUIREMENTS STATUS -----------------------
___x____ INTERNAL JOB=c DATE/TIME=12243/0200
___x____ INTERNAL JOB=C DATE/TIME=12243/0300

As per schedule Job job A(schid002) rquirment job c (schid-002)alone complete but this case job c(schid=003) also completed.
if job A (schid =04) will run or job will trap in ca7 for c(schid=003) since ran alredy .


is it called out of sequence in schedule ?, please guide me

What do your scheduling group say? They are the experts and they are the ones that should be able to tell you and you can talk back and forth about the overall requirements like if a job is dead for 2 hours can you cancel/dummy the next occurrence etc.
