Which statement regarding propagation is FALSE?

Question

Options

• AAutomatic propagation can be set globally, so every new job will automatically propagate.
• BPropagation can only occur in the direction of the job flow diagram (from beginning to end).
• CAutomatic propagation that is set globally can be overridden and disabled within a job.
• DAutomatic propagation that is set globally or at the job level can be overridden and disabled for a

• A
  4% (2)
• B
  94% (48)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

Option B is false because propagation in job scheduling systems is not restricted to a single direction - it can flow both forward and backward through the job flow diagram, not merely from start to finish. This bidirectional capability is a core feature that makes propagation flexible across complex job networks.

Why the distractors are true (and therefore not the answer):

• A is true - global automatic propagation settings exist and apply to all newly created jobs by default.
• C is true - a global propagation setting is not locked in; individual jobs can override and disable it.
• D is true (though the choice appears cut off) - propagation set at either the global or job level can be further overridden at a more granular level (e.g., individual job steps or dependencies).

Memory tip: Think of propagation like a wave in a pool - it radiates outward in all directions, not just one way downstream. The word "only" in option B is your red flag; on exam questions about scheduling propagation, "only one direction" is almost always the trap.
