Hi All,

I'm using a very simple job sequence wherein 5 jobs where used. I'm getting an error in the 4th job in the sequence. Is there a way to specify so that once I fix the issue, I can restart the job from the 4th job. Meaning: Is there a way to restart the job from where it stopped instead of starting it all over again, once the error has been fixed?

Thanks,
Vicky

Welcome! :D

Which version of 7.x do you have? From (I believe) 7.1 forward, there is an option on the Job Properties tab of Sequencers to add restart checkpoints. It will give you the ability to do what you want 'automagically' without all the goofy coding needed in earlier versions. Make sure you read the documentation for that feature so that you understand how it works and under what circumstances it doesn't work.

Hi
DataStage 7.1 forward you have Break points avalable in job sequencers. which will do exactly what you need.

if you are working on earlier versions then you have to handle the situation explicitly by coding it.

Hi All,

Thank you all for your helpful and timely replies. But the thing is that I'm trying to run this job on DataStage 6.x. Does someone have a suggestion for me as to how to go thru' the thing?

Thanks in Advance,
Vicky.

At version 6, you have two options:

1) copy the sequencer and delete the first three JobActivity stages

2) Recode the sequencer

2.1) Add a job parameter, StartingJobNum, (integer) that is your starting job number (1,2,3,...).

2.1) Placing a Sequencer stage between each JobActivity stage, and before the first JobActivity stage. Set their mode to Any.

2.2) Next, add a NestedCondition stage to each Sequencer stage. Each Sequencer stage now has and input from its NestedCondition stage and from the preceding JobActivity stage. Of course, the first Sequencer only has a NestedCondition input.

2.3) In the first NestedCondition stage, set the condition to . In the second NestedCondition stage, set the condition to . In the third NestedCondition stage, set the condition to . Repeat this series until you run out of sequencer stages.

2.4) Now run the job sequencer setting the value of the StartingJobNum parameter to 4.

Thanks to one and all who have taken efforts to answer my question and i'm sure i have got enough information on this from you all.

Thanks to all once again,
Vicky.
