Question about Job parameters ?

[xinhuang66]

I am not sure whether it is a very stupid question.

Basically, I have a job with one parameter ( of course with default value). There are 3 different stages in my job deal with different tasks.

Can I change the value of my job parameter in the first stage, and then my second stage can use the job parameter with the right value.

And can I assign a new value in the last stage, and use the job parameter with latest value in after job sub-routine.

Anybody can help ?

thanks

Am afraid but this can not be done. Instead u can have 3 different Job parameters and use them accordingly. However the stages u have talked about in your Job, if they are all Transformers u can assign the Job parameter value to a transformer stage varible value , do the needed modification based on the business rules and use the changed value accordingly.

It is an absolute rule that a job parameter's value can not be changed once the job is running.
Can you use three parameters, one for each stage? If not, consider a modular design that involves three separate jobs.
