Parameter set files

Can you change the values in the parameter set files, on the run, and use them within the same job?

Appreciate the help!!

Parameter values cannot be changed once a job has started. You can certainly change parameter set file values 'on the run' but it would have to be before the job that needed them was started.

Yes you can do that before running the job ...

Something like this ...

dsjob -run -parametersetname = valufile -paramsetname.parameter = newvalue

Just curious

Why do you want to change the value files ?

But ONLY before running the job. Job parameter values are read when the job starts and can not be legally changed subsequently.

nagarjuna,

I wanted to see if I could use parameter set files for handling parameters dynamically.

Thanks all for your help!... :D

Which is exactly what they provide - a mechanism to make them dynamic.
