A Process Condition is a condition that depends on the state of a Windows process (program). Unlike a Job Condition the Process Condition allows you to wait on a process that is not under the control of adTempus.
For example, you have a job that requires exclusive access to a data file. This file is also used by a process that is often run by users outside of adTempus. By adding a Process Condition that targets this external process you can prevent adTempus from running the job when the data file is in use.

If you want to prevent a Program Execution Task from running if the target process is already running, the Skip this step if the process is already running option provides a one-step alternative to the Process Condition. |
