DSXchange

We are having a reusable job (loads one hash file to another hash file) which will be commonly used in all jobs.

We had given a master sequence which will run all the jobs sequentially, so till now we dont have problem. But one of our customer wants to run the jobs concurrently.

In this situation we are getting the error,
"JobControl (fatal error from DSRunJob): Job control fatal error (-2)
(DSRunJob) Job <reusable jobname> is not in a runnable state".

I think two jobs are trying to access the reusable job at the same time, I had tried "Allow Multiple Instance" for the reusable job. But still I am getting the same error.

Is there any way to resolve this or can't we run these jobs concurrently?

Each instance of a multi-instance job must have a unique name. You are trying to concurrently run the same job with the same instance name.

I had changed the name for each instance of the job, But we are having another job (reusable job) which is called from a routine.

we are calling it as DSAttachJob("<reusable job>", DSJ.ERRFATAL), whether this will create two instances, if it is called in two jobs at the same time or it will give error.

Without specifying an Invocation ID in the routine - yes, two calls at the same time will fail. Make sure you are attaching to "<resuable job>.<unique invocation id>".

The property "allow multiple instances" does not automatically propagate through the heirarchy to the child job from a parent job. This property should be specified explicitly to each of the jobs that are being called.

You can use a multiple instance job, setting a different invocation ID in (one invocation ID for each call to the job) the sequencer ...

Thanks for all, Now The jobs are running concurrently.
