DSXchange

Hi,

I have a User Variable Activity Stage in a Sequence job, which is using the DSJobInvocationId. My question is how to pass a value to DSJobInvocationId when I run that Sequence job. For example, the Sequence job name is S1. Thank you.

You don't pass the value directly to DSJobInvocationId because this is a macro that invokes the DSGetJobInfo() function. The invocation ID is set when a multi-instance job is submitted for running.

Thanks, so in our project, I see in the scheduler, the sequence job S1 is called as S1.<some text>, and looks like the DSJobInvocationId will pick up the value of <some text>, I just want to know whether this is the only way we can assign our own value to DSJobInvocationId?

If you're using dsjob then, yes, this is the only way. If the job was started from a client tool, such as Director or Designer, the Invocation ID has its own field.

Thank you, Ray
