How to run different tasks on 2 nodes in one job - task

Question

I need to run different jobs on 2 nodes in one job.
#!/bin/bash
#Create the following folders:
mkdir -p /shared_folder/files/Source
mkdir -p /shared_folder/files/Target
#Generate the backups
#Under Source execute the following command:
cp -r /local/folder /shared_folder/files/Source
#Under Target execute the following command:
cp -r /local/folder /shared_folder/files/Target
#Delete all Target mobile configurations:
#Under Target execute the following command:
rm /local/folder/*.*
#Copy the mobile configurations from Source to Target:
#Under Target execute the following command:
cp /shared_folder/files/Source/*.* /local/folder/
Restart Tomcat Service in Target:
Under Target execute the following command:
/sbin/service tomcat restart
Below is my reference job which uses ${option.NodeFilter1} and ${option.NodeFilter2} to pass node names to the actual 2 jobs.
I don't know if I have to run this reference job locally and these 2 actuall jobs to be pushed to the machines or this reference job should also be pushed to the actuall machines. ?
After suggestion I've created this job reference. It references 2 actual jobs.

This is one of 2 actuall jobs

I get this error while trying to run this configuration:
Option input was not valid for [apps/Synchronize mobile configurations Source]: Option 'NodeFilter1' is required.

You can create two jobs, one each to perform the appropriate task on the separate nodes. Then create another job which executes both of those two jobs via the Job Reference feature. Make sure not to set a node filter in the third job.
