The information on this panel is inserted into your job scheduler database by job CMN17, which runs when your package is distributed. The jobs you listed in the Successor and Predecessor fields should be related to the first installation job for your package, such as CMN20, CMN21, CMN30, or CMN32. All installation jobs after the first job are submitted by the ChangeMan ZMF internal scheduler.

This table describes the fields and options available on the Create: Scheduling Dependencies panel.
