Multi Instance Jobs

[greggknight]

I developed a set of ds jobs. I make those jobs multi instance because I run the same jobs for two different companies which use different parameters. I have two different config files with the parameters for each company seperate. I run the set of jobs through a batch job for the first instance 201. It creates jobs JOBNAME.201 in director and runs the job. it then runs all the remaining jobs doing the samething. When this process is complete I then run the jobs again but pass the instance as 501 . The problem now begins. The second instance (501) removes the previous instance of the job (201) from director. So I have no visible logs. What would be causing this action????.

Problem number two. I execute a series of jobs from a batch job and all the jobs run successfully by the Director log but the jobs do not run through all the stages. another words the job really does not run.....I have been using server version since v3 and have never seen this !!!

Thanks

For problem 1, check your autopurge settings. The instance logs are just views of the base job's log. If the base job is set to only retain the last log, then you won't see more than one instance log.

How are you setting the invocation ID?

Thanks I never thought of something that simple. I changed all my settings to 3 Ran one set of jobs. Seems to be working >>>>>
Now for number one which really is the most important.!!
Again thanks for the spash of water...

The Invocation Id is in a JOB.config file (ini format ). This value is read in by a batch job which in return calls a complex routine which controls all the processing of all the jobs in the job array.
I have been using these for 8 years with out issue. pretty boiler plate.

Thanks
