Skip Jobs in Sequencer

All,

my sequencer job is used to call the parallel jobs based on the previous jobs status. i.e. RUNOK or RUNWARNING.

JobActivity1 --> JobActivity2--> JobActivity3 --> JobActivity4 --->
JobActivity5 -->JobActivity6

is it possible to skip any job from the sequencer? say for example,

i don't want to run JobActivity4 when i run the sequencer.

I used Custom Condition and DSJS.RUNOK OR DSJS.RUNWARNING.

So I think it is not possible.

we can skip the jobs which ran successfully in the first run. i.e. if the sequencer failed and restarted again,
the job which ran successfully can be skipped by choosing an option under "compilation". Am i correct?

No, you cannot skip tasks unless (as you mentioned) you have enabled checkpoints, you are restarting and those tasks were successful - and then it's automatic. Would be nice if you could simply 'Disable' a task or execute individual tasks ala Informatica but sadly one cannot.

We are working with a consulting team. They create a file for each job. If the file exists then they skip that job. So it would easy to skip jobs or run a job. The end of the main sequence deletes all these temp files. Works really well. Easy to implement too.

Interesting idea. Thought about something similar back in the day but never had any time to do anything of the sort. Could be fun.

If I get time then maybe I can export an example job. Let me see if the consulting firm minds. Let you know.

You could also use the "UniVerse" numbered public semaphores for this.
