Multi Instance job

[nvalia]

Hi,

we are using a multi instance job and will be passing values like B and C as invocation ids so that we can read from different source files. I want these to be concatenated to the final outbound files respectively.So what should I add as a part of output filename to be able to do it.
e.g. we want op files to be
<opfilename>B.txt - for InvocationId B
<opfilename>C.txt - for InvocationId C

Thanks

Hi

If you parameterize the invocation id and then use that parameter in defining the output file name then I think you can get it.

Thanks.

Should be simple enough to double-check, but I'm not sure if you can have a 'dot' in the Invocation ID.

Thanks to all for ur reply.

1. We do not need "dot" as part of the file name..that would come anyways as with all file names..we need only B or C dynamically.
2. Yes, I am already doing it using a parameter..but I was thinking if there was any other way where we could directly do it w/o using a parameter

Use the DSJobInvocationId macro instead, wrapping it in hash/pound signs if you are using it for part of a filename.

Thanks chulett.
This is precisely what I tried and it worked.
