Override SQL selection criteria param thru job seq to job

[Chandrathdsx]

I have a job Get_cust_count to get the total number of customers in a perticular state-cd from a teradata table. I am using Teradata connector stage, the SQL is: Select count(*) from Cust_Address where State_CD = '#STATE#'
I am passing the STATE as job parameter with a default value of 'TX' in the same job Get_cust_count.

Then I created a sequence to run the job Get_cust_count and added the parameter STATE and trying to override the STATE to 'CA' at the runtime of sequence but it is still taking the default value 'TX' that was defined in job.

How do I override the parameter STATE in jobsequence with 'CA' instead of predefined 'TX' that was defined in the job.

Thanks for the help.

Create a parameter in the Sequence job for the state and pass it to the PX job's matching parameter in the Job Activity state.

Thanks Chulett, passing the parameter from seq to job worked. Can I use the same thing in Parameter set and override the value of parameter set from job sequence to PX Job at run time?

As far as I know, yes, but I don't have any personal experience with 8.x or parameter sets yet.

That answer IS yes, the syntax is setname.parametername but, when you use the mouse (Insert Job Parameter), the syntax is managed automatically.

I tried it with defining a paramset xyz.state with the default value as 'TX'. When I am running the job seq with override xyz.state = 'CA', but the output still I see the results of TX. I am using the same parameter set in the job as well in the sequence and I am trying to override the job paramset value from job seq. Please help.... Thanks.

Please check whether you are passing the correct values(matching parameters of the job sequence) in the Value Expressions to all the parameters(of the job) in your job activity stage.
If everything is fine in the job activity stage then there will be no problem to override the default values of parameters in the job.
In our project for all the jobs we pass the insert,update sqls and keep specifications as parameters from job sequences n I have never faced this issue..!!

Hello, Thanks for your reply.. I too never had a problem with Passing the parameters. But, I think I can not pass the parameter set values from job activity to the job parameter set values. Anyone, please confirm.. thank you!
