Scheduling more than one instance of same Job does nothing

[IPD]

I added a job to the scheduler. Then I want to add another instance of that job to the scheduler but nothing happened..it took the input but only showed the first instance I set up. No error messages as far as I can tell.

This was against a sequence job. Is this a bug or is there some setting to allow this to happen?

Did you add the instance name to the job name when you did this?

[chulett]

Shouldn't really matter, and there's no setting as any job can be added to the Schedule multiple times, MI or not. Not really sure why you are seeing what you are seeing.

Can you take a look at your crontab entries on UNIX, to see whether it's a problem in how Director's schedule view is working?

Do you set the invocation id?

I have added a job in the scheduler two times,one i set the invocation id to 1,another is 2, so in the scheduler,i have two instance:jobname.1 and jobname.2

I added a job to the scheduler. Then I want to add another instance of that job to the scheduler but nothing happened..it took the input but only showed the first instance I set up. No error messages as far as I can tell.

It appears I can create multiple schedules, as long as I select Every or Daily. But if I try to add more than one of usng NEXT, Tomorrow, or Today...it will not allow it.

Is this the expected behaviour?

[chulett]

Hmmm... perhaps. The 'every' or 'daily' schedules would be support by cron and thus would be able to handle multiple occurrences. One time schedules are handled by 'at' and perhaps it can only do so once per job. I don't recall ever having that problem but then I've never used DataStage on AIX and perhaps that is a factor here.

Can you ask an SysAdmin about that?
