Selecting Contextual Packages in a Custom Job

AdminStudio Enterprise Server 11.5 | Job Manager

When defining a Custom Job, the packages that you import in prior Import or Directory Monitoring Job Steps are available for selection as source or target packages when defining operations in subsequent Job Steps.

The packages that will be imported in an Import or Directory Monitoring Job Step are selected when the Job is executed, not when the Job Step is defined, so the names of those packages are unknown.

Therefore to make these imported packages available for selection when defining subsequent Job Steps, they are listed in the Contextual Packages group in the package tree and are referred to in context of their associated import step, such as Job Step n, where n is the number of the Job Step that performed the import.
