It is a job in a job.

The Shared Containers are the reuseable components (that you create, pretty similar to a server job).
You have it common across the project.

From the Help

Shared containers comprise groups of stages and links and are stored in the Repository like DataStage jobs. When you insert a shared container into a job, DataStage places an instance of that container into the design. When you compile the job containing an instance of a shared container, the code for the container is included in the compiled job. In server jobs you can use the DataStage debugger on instances of shared containers used within jobs.

the shared container is reuseable unit of job which has the set of DS components in it (stages in it).

You Create it by first selecting the group of stages you want in it and then going to EDIT tab of toolbar you select for construct conatiner.
and your shared container is ready.

whenver you use it make sure that the metadata of the link going to the container is same as metadata of component you want it to be connected in container.

Shared containers may have their own parameters. Local containers do not have parameters, since they are part of the job rather than being a stored-alone component.

It is an reusable component. It is also like job . You can use it in any job in project. Local container u can use in one particular job.
Edit - Construct container -Local/Shared

Hi,

Shared containers are used as reusable components for reducing the complexity of the program.
you can make a container shared or local.
Shared container can be accessed by any job but local container can be accessed by only that job
(especially used to reduce the complexity of the job).

For making something as container, select the components in the job and then go to menu and then give shared or local.
