Suresh,
The DSXchange welcomes you on this Forum. The last couple of posts from you sound like purely inteview questions. If you do a search on this forum on interview questions, you will come to learn that such questions are frowned upon and not welcomed.
Just a friendly advice.
Regards,

You can look up invocation in the dictionary. In the DS application, it means an ad-hoc copy of a job created at runtime. You can read the manual for more details.

Etymologically at least, invocation could be defined as putting something in the VOC file. This definition is not appropriate in the context of DataStage.
