Multiple Instances of a job

[saini]

Hi

I have a Sequence which allows multiple instances.
Is it required that the jobs which are put in the job sequence should also allow multiple instances.


Thanks

Then If require to give the invocation id for each job in the JOb Activity Stage in Sequencer.
What should we give in the Invocation ID. Is theer any particular value or name for Invocation Ids

One can give any number, string or filename as invocation id. We generally pass invocation id as given below (Script accepts a parameter for invocation ID.

Code: Select all

jsInvocationId=$1
$DSHOME/bin/dsjob -run -wait -warn 0 -jobstatus -param jsInterfaceName=$jsInterfaceName $DS_PROJECT $DS_SEQNAME.$jsInvocationId

But alot depends on requirement and design.
thanks

ONE instance of a job can run with no invocation ID (that is, an invocation ID of ""). However, a second instance with the same invocation ID, whatever it is, will fail to start (job not in a runnable state: already running).
