Certain batch jobs require that other batch jobs be completed first. For example, the landing tables for a base object must be populated before running any batch jobs. Similarly, before you can run a Match job for a base object, you must run its corresponding Stage and Load jobs. Finally, when a base object has
dependencies
(for example, it is the child of a parent table, or it has foreign key relationships that point to other base objects), batch jobs must be run first for the tables on which the base object depends. You or your organization should consider the best practice of developing an administration or operations plan that specifies which batch processes and dependencies should be completed before running batch jobs.
