Hi All,
I am unable to comprehend the importance of Shared Containers.
I am using local shared containers for readability purpose, other than that, what significance does shared containers [multiple instance jobs performs the same functionality]
Thank You

It's a 'reusable object'. Write once, leverage in multiple jobs, change in one place, all places see the same change. Does that help at all? Not really associated with [what you put in the square brackets] by the way.
The concept of shared containers works the same Server v. Parallel and you can even use a 'Server Shared Container' in a Parallel job - with caveats. The reverse is not true, however.

For example, you might create a shared container for generic error handling. Within the container additional columns could be added for the job name, the job start time, etc.
In parallel jobs, other columns can be made to flow through the shared container without being specified, by employing "runtime column propagation".

The job captures the sqlcode value from the target database. This comes into a Transformer stage in the Shared Container which uses DS macros and other techniques to add the project, job name, date, user and any other information required for loading into an error recording table.
