Job Sequencer

[rajeev_prabhuat]

Hi,

I am having 32 jobs, in which i will be generating the Dsjobreport into a folder, i am having another job wich takes data from the folder which contains the DsjobReport and will take into our format. My doubt is that in Job Sequencer, cani call the second job after completion of each job 32 times.

Secon job has a folder stage, which takes the files from the folder and does the processing through transformer and populates a sequential file with the needed format.

Regards,

Yes you can but it will look quite messy. I would create a Job Control routine to kick off the first job and then create a loop for the second job that executes 32 times. It is a neater solution.

Code: Select all

JobActivity 1 ---> S S
     .             E T ---> JobActivity (second job)
     .             Q A
     .             U G
     .             E E
     .             N
     .             C
     .             E
JobActivity 32 --> R

Either way would work. David's would run the jobs in a serial fashion, while Chuck's would run them in parallel... which would be faster as long as your job design will accomdate that. If you do, make sure the Sequence stage has its property set to 'All', by the way.

If you have 7.5, the first methodology should be able to be done in a Sequencer now that the Loop Start and Loop Stop stages have been added.

32 in parallel may saturate the machine, and therefore be self-defeating. Opt for a compromise of N in parallel, where the machine has N+1 CPUs.
