Methods, systems, and computer program products for job management in the
presence of implicit dependency. In a situation where static dependency
exists between a first computer job and a second computer job as an
initial start condition for the second job, where the start of the second
job depends on the completion of the first job, a scheduler determines
whether the first job has created a child job, in which case the initial
start condition is changed into an adjusted start condition by adding an
implicit dependency, whereby the start of the second job is made further
to depend at least on the completion of the child job.
