Reading the parameter

Post by sagar deshmukh »

I have seen a sequencer...where we are passing the parameters through shell script....to the sequencer....i mean shell script will rerad the parameters from a parameter file and will be given to the job....
In sequencer again we have a Routine stage....where the routine will read the parameters and pass to the further jobs.....
is theer any need of doing this??

Someone must have thought so, but without details one cannot comment on the 'correctness' of the approach. Typically, all required parameters would be defined in the Sequence job itself so it could pass them along as needed.

If you are using sequence, sequence itself accpets the parameters...so all the parameters which are required to all the jobs can be defined at sequence level..

u can call your sequence with all those parameters using your script and then these parameters will be used in undelying jobs..

hope this helps..

The second person personal pronoun in English is spelled "you", not "u". Please strive for a professional standard of written English on DSXchange, not least to assist those whose first language is not English.
