Do jobs in a sequencer inherit the "DS_PXDEBUG = 1"

Post by tbtcust »

Hi all.

I have a sequencer that has 4 jobs. I have added to Job_1 the DS_PXDEBUG parameter and set it to 0. I have not added DS_PXDEBUG to the other 3 jobs. I have added DS_PXDEBUG to the sequencer and set it to 1. As expected Job_1 is producing the additional messages in Director. All the other jobs are also producing the additional messages in director.

Why are the other jobs producing the additional messages? I have not added DS_PXDEBUG to the other job parameter list.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Seeing as how it's not a parameter per se but rather an evironment variable, it doesn't really suprise me that it affects all jobs run by a Sequence job when it is set at that level.

Thanks chulett. Adding it via the parameter list throw me off. Thanks for clarifying
