Hi,

i need to schedule a job for continuous run using datastage director,

for ex:-

job name : -- abcd

After finishing the job it has to restart again.

is it possible using datastage director.

please give your valuble suggestions.

thanks in advance.

That's not possible via the DataStage Director, which leverages cron behind the scenes on a UNIX server. Perhaps an Enterprise Scheduler could be setup like that. Another approach is to build a job control 'wrapper' and schedule that. The wrapper would be responsible for running the other job in a loop, restarting it every X whatevers. I'd suggest considering some way to get out of that looping construct gracefully rather than just build an infinite loop.

Thanks chulett for your response.

The custom, build. wrapper options are with datastage client interface without using third party tools are available from enterprise edition(parallel Extender) , but now i am trying to implement this functionality in sever jobs(7.5).

correct me from wrong.

So please provide some more info to create a loop.

To create a loop we need to know the status of the job,how to trace it.


Thanks in advance.
