want to the job sequence repeatedly until particular time

[kvnbabu]

I have 4 jobs and one job sequence which runs these 4 jobs. Now, my requirement is to jun the job sequnce repeatedly (looping, like once the job sequence completes running 4 jobs, the sequencer has to be kicked off immediately and run the 4 jobs again) until some time is reach.

Say I start the Job Sequnce at 4:00 AM and want to the sequence until 6:00 AM.

Could anybody guide me please?

Use the Loop stage. After finishing the last job of the sequence, check if the end time is reached ? Depending on the result, either proceed for next iteration else exit the loop.

Adding to my last post only..
Start the loop with a default inital value and set the "To" value to a value returned by a routine. The routine will always increment the "To" variables value.

Scheduling is done only when you determine when the seq has to be kicked off.This kind of looping will would only create a do nothing phenomenon where you loop cycles again and again.Please revamp your design ,i think this would be better

Do the looping in another Sequence that calls this Sequence inside the Start/End loop stages. A custom routine can exit the loop at the proper time.

hello dear,


1.Imagine your 4 jobs take 2 secs to run ok.

2.start your job with some time and imagine you want be in loop for 2 hours.


you have to use UserVariables_Activity,startloop,Job_Activity and EndLoop.

job design like below

UserVariables_Activity--->startloop------->Job_Activity------>EndLoop.

in UserVariables_Activity stage create 3 variables like below

New1---@time+Iconv("00:00:10", "MTS")(ex 10 secs is taken for looping, in your case take 2 hours).

New2---@time, time when job will start, just a starting time.

New3----Iconv("00:00:02", "MTS")(calculate exact time taken by your sequence which in turn runs 4 jobs).

and in start loop stage, loop from
start--New2
step---New3
To--New1

hope it helps.

DS jobs usually take a variable length of time based on how much data they are processing. If he's checking for new files arriving, then it might take 2 seconds to find that there are no files, or half an hour if a big file drops in.
