Hi Sri

Code: Select all


                    ----
JobActivity -----> |    |
                   |    |
JobActivity -----> |    |
                   |    |
JobActivity -----> |    |
                    ----
                    Sequencer
                    (Mode = All)

Join each job activity to a sequencer with Mode set to "All". Each activity will run independantly of each other, however the sequence job will not finish until all activities are completed.

For each job activity i had connect to Routine and then each jobactivity to a sequencer and i set the mode to any. still the 2nd job is waiting on my 1st job to finish.

Any way thanku very much.

Thanks

Maybe the runtime is short that the first job finishes before the second job starts.

By-the-way, why are you connecting to a routine?

To run simultaneously you do NOT join the job activities to each other with links.

Code: Select all

          +---> JobActivity
          |
Routine --+---> JobActivity
          |
          +---> JobActivity

I think there is an issue with Routine Activity stages that may cause serial execution when you expect it to run the jobs in parallel.

Not anywhere where I check or confirm/deny this.

However, it would help to get a picture of the OP's sequencer job, including the RA stages so we can see how everything is linked. A little ascii art, like Ray and Adamski did, please!

Use the Preview option and wrap things in Code tags so it will (mostly) survive as written. Keep hitting Preview and checking to make sure that the final result makes sense.

Then we can see what's what.

HI everybody,
I am using routine to get last runtime parameter for the job. since i am using the same hashfile to store all the last run time parameter of the jobs may be the routine is locking the hash file to access other jobs. I dont know based on ur references i am assuming that may be the case.
thanks very much for all the people for valuable suggestions.

Thanks
srini

So... no job picture?
