DataStage Not Creating Instances

[jerome_rajan]

Hi,

We have a multi-instance load job that is meant to be run for multiple tabes simultaneously. My understanding was that if I pass an 'Invocation Id', DataStage should create an instance and if I don't then it should process the job without creating an instance.

In my case however, no instances are getting created when I run the job with an invocation id. But if I run the job as part of a sequencer and pass an invocation id from the sequencer, then instances get created. Any one faced this before?

if u check director, u can see jobname.invocation_id after run

well the history of previous run gets deleted after a new run, this might be ur case

others can correct me

When you run it how exactly, from where?

[jerome_rajan]

When I run the job individually (not as part of a sequencer). Say I have a multi-instance job - Jb_abc. When I run the job individually with an invocation id (say 'xyz'), I would expect an entry in the director that says Jb_abc.xyz is in running state while Jb_abc will be in compiled state. But in my case, the director does not display any instance and simply shows Jb_abc in running state.

Note - Happens only in my machine. The same job worked flawlessly when triggered from a peer's machine.

Try restarting your client machine.

If that doesn't work, remove and re-install the client software on your machine.

Is your machine at the same patch/fixpack level as your peer's?
