Pass Invocation Id value to Job Parameter

[chaithanya]

I tried to pass the Invocation Id value as Job Parameter. In the "Default Value" of the Parameters , i gave the macro "DsJobInvocation Id".But the Job Aborted. Any ideas for the same?

DSJobInvocationId tries to get the invocation ID of the current job (that is, the sequence from which the job is being invoked). If the sequence is not multi-instance, this attempt is doomed.

If you're not invoking from a sequence, then you're breaking a different rule; the invocation ID is not available until the job has actually started, which it hasn't if you're in the Job Run Options dialog.
