Hi everybody!

I have a main job sequence that call all my data load process.

That main job sequence has some parameters, and the value of these parameters are in a file.

I need to read this file and call my main job sequence sending the parameters.

I was thinking make this using a job batch!

Does anyone has some suggestion?

Thanks

You can write a fancy .bat script, or use a perl script, or go as far as unix tools for Windoze, or a DS Batch job would work great.

Is it possible to do this with another job sequence?

Sure, if you take the time. You have to parse your parameter file for values and pass them to the Job stages, but you'll probably think it's easier with a Batch job.

A job batch (created in Director) is a job sequence, though with far less control over what's happening. Take the trouble to learn the job sequence GUI; you won't regret it.
