Event Manager's advanced chaining features enable you to quickly and easily define dependencies and workflows involving SQL Agent jobs, Oracle jobs, and/or Windows Tasks. You have ultimate flexibility with regard to how the chains are defined - the chained jobs or tasks can reside anywhere in the enterprise, and you can have unlimited levels per chain, as well as unlimited jobs/tasks per level.

Features Easy configuration of powerful cross-server job chains. Define dependencies between events occurring on disparate systems. For example, run a SQL Server job whenever a Windows task completes successfully. Graphical Interface for easy of configuration and printing of chain diagrams. No limit to length or complexity of chain. Works with your existing scheduling agents - no new schedulers are installed.

Job Queuing
Event Manager's advanced queuing features make it easy to prevent job conflicts related to occasional runtime deviations, and enforce inter-job dependencies. You can set a job to queue or be queued for a specified time, limit the total number of jobs in the queue at any one time, and control a job's behavior when it pops off the queue.

The "Execute Job" Action
For simpler 1-to-1 chaining scenarios, you can utilize the "Execute Job" action to trigger a job on any SQL Server in response to any other event status or performance condition, for any event type.
