Hi folks, I have a question abt scheduling. How to schedule a job on a particular day of the year i.e if I want to schedule a job on Jan 1st and only want to run on that day of every year, how can it be acheived.

Since DataStage uses the host system's scheduler and you are on UNIX your system is most likely CRON and you can modify the entry in the crontab yourself; I couldn't find a specifi date option in the Director GUI to do so.

Does the company you work for have an enterprise scheduler that they use for other processing? Ask your operation folks if you are not sure. If you have one I would recommend that you use it to schedule your DataStage job. In doing so it provides visibility to the operations group on what is going on. It also allows you to do a better job of handling the scheduling within the framework of the enterprise processes.

Can you not schedule it from Director as 1 Jan with the Every option checked? Then just modify the crontab entry as required.
