I have a few parallel job jobs that have parameters. Depending on the environment I am running in, i.e., development, QA, or Production, I'll need to change the job parameters. These jobs are spread across three child sequence. I execute the three child sequence via a parent sequence.
Is it possible to pass parameters from the parent sequence, to the child sequence, to the job?
That would be yes for parameters in parameter sets as well. Add the parameter set to the parent job sequence. You'd override individual parameter values within the set at the parent level.
In the job activity for the child job, insert the parameter set name (you can use the insert parameter button). When you run the parent job sequence (e.g. from Director or Designer), you will get the expanded list of all of the parameters in the parameter set with a chance to overide any of them.
In other words, overrides are provided at run time. At design time, you only get a choice of pre-defined or defined value sets.
To add a bit... if you have a pre-determined set of overrides that you want to use for a parameter set, you could create a value set. At design time, you can specify which value set the job should use.
