Pls kindly help me out

Maybe creating a file when the job finishes and starting the job from TAC when this file is created.
Sorry, don't have access to TAC at this time but it could be an idea.

@TRF That's an interesting idea! But where and how is this touch file being generated>??

As explained in documentation "If you want to execute a task on a file-based event, such as the presence, creation, modification of the file, you can use the File trigger. For more information on how to use File triggers, see How to add a File trigger."

I thiink that's the answer.

You may also create a new task using the MetaServlet API.

Here again you have to refere the documentation.

I've used it in the past to restart automatically web services 1 time per day.

It should be an alternative.

is this issue resolved?

I agree to the touch file method with file trigger, as its easy to implement. You can create a touch file on the job server where you are running the job.

else I got a wild idea.. you can create a master job having tInfiniteLoop followed by your subjob(the one which you want to run back to back)

tInfiniteLoop>>tRunJob

Then run this master job once from TAC.. and it will go on.

But not sure how you want your job to behave in case of error.
