Thanks for the reply. I agree -- a way to test this would be to create a copy of that sequence and manually set each job activity to "Validate". I was hoping that there was a "Validate, then run" option like the "reset if required, then run".

Thanks again!

Hi Everyone, A team member ran into an issue where they had a Sequence defined that called 20 or so parallel jobs. One of the job activities in the sequence accidentall had an incorrect database connetion parameter defined and subsquently caused the underlying parallel job to fail. I was reading up ...

Hi Everyone, I have a small table with a 3 data element composite key. My requirement is to check for duplicates within this composite key. Here is the approach that I am taking.

Hi Everyone,

I have heard rumors that the new Blueprint Director product will be a free product included in the release of IBM InfoSphere Information Server 8.5 as a part of the foundation tools. Can anyone confirm this rumor or provide comments?

I do not know of a particular rule set for vehicle makes and models. You can definitely create your own custom pattern action language to handle any data set, but you first have to understand all of the data patterns and tokens that exist within the data that you wish to apply the rules to. I would ...

Thanks for the reply Craig. Unfortunately that was not a typo. The crazy thing is that this is only 1 out of about 30 instances...

Thanks Plagvreugd for the suggestion on modifying the execution action. I decided to go that route, as it was the quickest solution. Our group has a best practice of utilizing a UserVariable stage in which we can set/modify many parameters in our sub processes and parallel jobs and I can see how I c...

Hi Everyone, Is there a way to comment job activities within a job sequence? I have a requirement to turn jobs "off" and I know the customer will want them turned back on at some point in the future. I can of course export the files and save them or just simply remove the job activities, b...
