What does "Allow multiple instance" do and how do we know whether we have multiple INSTANCES OR NOT

[Raghumreddy]

You can change the post title to Multiple instance

Check the job properties for the multiple instances check bos.
If that is On then job can run multiple instances.

Say you have a job that run with one set of data. split that data into multiple files and give each file as source to each job . you can run the jobs with invocationID.

You can run the job multiple times with different input files.

One job can only run once at a time unless you specify that it is multi-instance. There are considerations you need to cater for when writing a multi-instance job, i.e. such as making sure that you don't write to the same sequential file as the other instances of the job.

You can find out from DSGetJobInfo() whether a job is multi-instance or not.
