Hi,

I wanted to know what precautions we need to take care while developing the jobs in Grid environment.

Any information on how it differs Grid Environment and Normal Environment in development of jobs.

Regards
Sridhar

No particular precautions, though you do have to grid-enable your jobs (more environment variables) and include an extra Execute Command activity in job sequences.

Hi Ray,

Thanks for reply.

Any specific reason why do we need to use extra Execute Command activity in job sequences and more environment variables in Grid environment.

Thanks

Basically the jobs and sequences have to be "grid enabled" so that they can use a dynamically-generated configuration file rather than the static one specified by the value of $APT_CONFIG_FILE.
There are a couple more minor reasons, but that's the main one.
