looping among stages

Post by legendkiller »

Hi,

I need one information. Can we do looping among some stages of the job. For example say I have 7 stages then can I loop between stages 3,4,5 till certain condition in stage 3 satisfied.

Thanks,
chulett

If you speak of Sequence jobs then yes (7.5.x required), otherwise no.

Basically no. There is already a loop of sorts within a job ("process each row").

In Job Sequences we have "activities" rather than stages, and two of these (version 7.5.1 and later) are called the StartLoop and EndLoop activities. With these you can loop around activities 3, 4 and 5.
