From JobExecution it's not possible to get the Job Step Execution as JobExecutions [BATCH-2579]

sathiyaseelan muthukumar opened BATCH-2579 and commented

I have job configured similar to the below one.

<job id="parent">
<step id="child1_stp">
<job ref="child1"/>
</step>
<step id="child2_stp">
<job ref="child2"/>
</step>
</job>
<job id="child1">
<step id="step1">
</step>
<step id="step2">
</step>
</job>
<job id="child2">
<step id="step3">
</step>
<step id="step4">
</step>
</job>

When I'm accessing jobExecution of parentJob , I'm getting step executions of child1_stp, child2_stp ( the job steps). But there is no direct way of getting the steps executions within those job steps.

I have to use the job Explorer to get the steps (step1, step2, step3, step4). If there is a way to identify and access the Job Executions from the parent job Execuion, that would be better.

Affects: 3.0.7

Start with the JobExecution and JobExplorer APIs named in the report, then trace how nested job and step executions are represented for the parent/child configuration. Compare the parent’s job-step results with the child executions. Done means the parent execution provides a supported way to identify and access those child JobExecutions.
