Could any one please let me know what are these used for in datastage

Sequencer jobs and

A job sequence (not a sequencer, which is an activity within a job sequence) is a GUI for creating a job control routine. It allows routines and external commands to be part of the execution sequence.

A shared container is a subset of a job design that can be used in more than one job as a re-usable component. For example you might create a shared container that accepts error information (code and text) and inserts a row into an error-recording table, enriching it with job name, date/time, etc.
