Are you sure you are using DS390? as you cannot create sequence jobs in MVS enviroment.If you are using either serv/parallel edition let us know the specific error you are getting.

So what's the problem?

A Sequencer can only make an "any or all" decision on its inputs. There's naught that can go wrong with it.

I suspect you mean "job sequence".

That's too many at once - run less than 12 simultaneuously.

As mentioned that may be due the server over load by triggereing 12 jobs at a time by a JobSequence.
You can try to give pause between job which are called.
Search the forum from more information.

How many CPUs are in your DataStage server machine?

If this is a small number, and you are asking it to do so many things at once, is it any wonder it reports being overloaded?

Can you juggle two balls? Three? Twelve?!!

A design such as that below guarantees that at most two jobs at a time will be running.

Code: Select all

Job Activity ---> Job Activity ---> JobActivity ---> Job Activity
Job Activity ---> Job Activity ---> JobActivity ---> Job Activity

Yes.

You, too, can have it by the simple expedient of searching the forum.

It may be more efficient to use both phantom and &PH& and perform a search for all terms.

This probably should have been a new thread.

I am running only 3 jobs at a time and still getting this error.

Few questions:
In job resource i see there are many jobs running although not of my project. Does this effect concurrency?

NOTE: We were able to run 17 jobs simultaneously just 1 week ago

Not concurrency, just total load. Monitor your operating system to determine where the bottlenecks are; CPU, memory, I/O throughput, network bandwidth are the primary candidates.

If something was a bottleneck then how come we were able to run 17 jobs simultaneously at some point of time. anyways i will try and run all of them in night ensuring no other user is connected.

will update this post. thanx

17 lightweight things might load the system less than two heavy-duty things.
