Disable Job Activity in Sequence

[bbobpop1]

Hi

I have two sequences, Seq A and Seq B. Seq A is a "parent" sequence because Seq B is called from Seq A.

In Seq B, I have 15 DataStage Job running in parallel. Now Out of these 15 DataStage Jobs, I need to disable one job (Job A) temporarily.

I have two options,

1) Create a Dummy Job (For Job A) with the same name and let it run through sequence B.

2)Create a New Sequence, (Copy of Seq B) and delete Job A activity.

However, I am curious to understand that is there any way to disable few job/s in a sequence?

Thanks
Bob

No, there isn't a way to "disable" activities. You can add conditional logic to branch around them if you're going to be doing this on a regular basis, otherwise you've hit on the other two techniques I would have mentioned.

In the Execution Action drop down list, you could select "Validate only" for Job A. But obviously, you need to recompile and run...
