This is rather simple. You simply assign all jobs of this type to the same queue and set them to run synchronous. That's all. Queue can be created in the Tools/Job Queues menu the rest is done in job properties. : Hi, I am trialling 24x7 to see if I can get it to do what needs to be done : for our Windows applications. : I need to get it to do some "clever" stuff & just can't see : how/where to achieve this part. : The requirement is to be able to schedule jobs based upon the random arrival : of data files. (that's easy!) : Each file is processed in (almost) the exact same way. (Can do this too!) : The trouble is that several files could arrive at the same time & this : could cause meltdown of the processors if they execute together. : So, I need 24x7 to recognise that a job needs to run, but wait until an : already executing job (if any) finishes. : Some other products I have reviewed allow this by setting a "class" : for certain jobs and limiting the number of executing jobs in this : "class". : Does anyone have any ideas how I might achieve this?? : Regards(etc) : Simon
