Do you guys have an enterprise scheduler at your site? The scheduling folks should be able to help you out on how to get it done.

Create shell script(s) which calls the job(s) and keep that in cron.

If you use shell scripts and cron then you might as well schedule the jobs in the director, since that is the scheduler used by default in DataStage.

The original post is marked as 'Windows' so if that's correct there is no cron. But the point remains, if you run your jobs from the scheduler that DataStage uses, you might as well stick with letting DataStage interface with your scheduler for you.

And if you have nothing in the way of an Enterprise Scheduler... what makes you think you can 'not use Director for scheduling'?

Additionally, why the perceived need to find some other way to schedule this? Director will work just fine...

Actually there are some bugs in the DataStage Windows scheduler interface.

You can submit dsjob commands via AT. Search the forum or manuals for dsjob, and type AT /? for the syntax of the AT command.

If you have a one-off non-standard scheduling requirement, you can just schedule it to run every day, and call a Server Routine as the first step in the sequence to work out whether it should run or not.

Then you create a conditional link to the rest of the sequence that only runs when the SR succeeds.

This is not such a hot idea if it is going to be required for a lot of different jobs - it's inelegant and creates a build and maintenance overhead.

Hi,

As you are running your datastage on windows then, write one batch program which calls all your executable jobs and schedule it through WINDOWS Schedular.

WINDOWS Schedular is one among the many best answers
