Patching Job - Output


The Output panel lets you capture job completion status for the current job and use it to populate a predefined property that you created in the Property Dictionary, within the built-in property class for the job targets — the Server, Component, or Device property class.

The list of properties for selection includes all complex properties of the JobRunStatusEnumeration type. It does not include intrinsic and deprecated properties.

Using the property that you specify here, you can create smart groups based on the completion status of the current job at the various targets. For example, you can create a smart group that includes all servers at which this job has not yet run or a smart group for all servers at which this job has completed successfully.

Such smart groups can serve as the targets either in the current job or in other jobs. When used in a separate job, the smart group targets link the execution of one job with the outcome of a previous job. In fact, you can optionally join both jobs together within a Batch Job.
