I have a sequencer which I have scheduled for 3 AM. I want it to run continuously even after it is finished till time is 6 AM. That means the job starts at 3 AM, finishes, runs once again, finishes and runs once again till 6 AM. After 6 AM it should finish and not run again.
There are many ways to do this.
Create a job sequence that is called from the scheduler that loops to call the job; it checks the time and once past 6am it exits the loop and stops.
Or you can schedule the job to run every 5 minutes in the scheduler (assuming it runs < 5 minutes) between the 3am and 6am.
Yeah i have tried to schedule the job,but i am not able to find the way for scheduling, there i am able to see only time option like at what time i have to run the job. This is all i have done in datastage Manager.
You schedule the job using the Director and can simply 'Add to Schedule', over and over, at five minute intervals. Not ideal, but would work as long as your job never takes more than five minutes to run!

Create a job that writes dummy data to a file and schedule this at 6 AM. Use a wait for file trigger to stope the looping job( job #1 , placed in an integer loop in a job sequencer, have a large upper limit and small step size) once the file is detected.. you can force a job to stop running by connecting to sequencer stage or by calling dsjob -stop from command activity stage in a job sequencer.
