Ok. I stated it as a general rule. But by looking at your message I think thats not the case. Can 2 jobs share same RT_CONFIG file? Is this file any way related to hash partitioning?

Thanks

Thanks for reply.

2 jobs would not have same config file. So basically I will need to repartition the 2 datasets in the transform job..

But if I use hash partioning (which is possible according to job logic) I will have to sort the data on both the input links. Which method is efficient? using auto pa...

How to get list of jobs used in a sequence?

From command prompt can we find out names of all the jobs used in a sequence? Is there any table which can be used?

I was thinking of reading the log file of sequence, but is there any better option?

Hi Ray Thanks for a quick reply. I think JOBTYPE 2 is sequence, 3 is PX job and 0 is server job. Is there any other table where we can map the meanings of 0,2 and 3? Like in typical database, generally we get mapping/reference tables which explain meaning of numeric values used in database...? Thanks

How to get the job type from command prompt?

From command prompt, is there any way to fetch Job type of a job? Like how to identify if the job is a sequence/server job/PX job etc. Do we get any qualifier in DS_JOBS?

I can read the logs. But apart from that..is there any other way?

Thanks
