Batch script

[naren6876]

I would like to run the same job 5 times with different parameter values.
I want to do this with a batch script.

I want to write something like below.

dsjob -run -wait -param ParamName=Value1 Myproject Myjob

dsjob -run -wait -param ParamName=Value2 Myproject Myjob

dsjob -run -wait -param ParamName=Value3 Myproject Myjob

dsjob -run -wait -param ParamName=Value4 Myproject Myjob

dsjob -run -wait -param ParamName=Value5 Myproject Myjob

Is that good approach or not?.
any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Thats a fine approach. Make sure you put enough error handling mechanisms in there.
A suggestion: If the running of one job will not affect the running of another then you can probably make this job a multi-instance job and call the instance with different parameters.

For example:

dsjob -run -wait -param ParamName=Value1 Myproject Myjob.1

dsjob -run -wait -param ParamName=Value2 Myproject Myjob.2

dsjob -run -wait -param ParamName=Value3 Myproject Myjob.3

dsjob -run -wait -param ParamName=Value4 Myproject Myjob.4

dsjob -run -wait -param ParamName=Value5 Myproject Myjob.5

If you run them at the same time, make sure they're not all trying to write to the same sequential file, or lock the same row in any database table.

If you are planning to run in parallel, you can remove the "-wait" option in the suggest command list.

My requirement is First one should be finished before second one starts. That's why i put 'wait' option.

am i in the right path?. and Myjob is not multi instance one.

Thanks in advance

If you have to run them one by one then your good.

As per your requirement you command is correct. If you are done with it, you can mark topic as resolved.
