Shared Container

[ReachKumar]

Hi,

How to create and use shared containers in the job?

Please help.

In your designer "General" tab you can select a container. Once on the canvas, you can right-mouse click and convert it to a shared container. Or in the Designer menu you can choose "new" and then select a shared container directly. I'm sure there are more methods, which as also documented in the product literature.

Why particularly do you want to use shared containers?

Shared containers r used for reducing the complexity and it can use any were in ur project and any job,but local containers u can use only that particular job

If u cant re convert the shared container directely,first u have to convert shared container to local container and then local container to original form

Please maintain a professional standard of written English on DSXchange. There is no call to use SMS-style abbreviations - DSXchange is not a mobile telephone, and there is no practical limit to the length of posts.

The second person personal pronoun in English is spelled "you" (not "u"), its possessive form is spelled "your" (not "ur") the plural present tense of the verb "to be" is "are" (not "r").

I am fully aware of possible reasons for using containers of different kinds, but wanted to know what the original poster's reasons are, in case they warrant a broader answer or, indeed, a solution that does not involve containers.

Hi,

I have a set of jobs.

All the jobs has the input field(Say Emp_ID).

Each job creates one output file with some logic(Hope it wont be necessary now)

Now my requirement :
Before the output stage, i need to lookup the input data with the common file(Which will be common across all the jobs) based on Emp_ID.

I need to create new field(Say indicator).If there is a matching record in the input file and the lookup file then value for the indicator field should be Y else N.

And finally i need to send all the input fields and lookup file fields to output along with indicator field.

So shared container will contain the lookup file and lookup logic and the indicator field logic and input and output meta data.

Please let me know for any information.

Can shared container has two input files?

[chulett]

Files? Sure. Did you perhaps mean input links? And as noted, how to create / use them is fully documented in the pdf files that come with the product.

[ReachKumar]

yes i mean input links

Probably the easiest approach for you is to construct your logic in a regular job, test it, then select the pertinent stages and use the Edit menu to create your shared container.

If/when it subsequently needs parameters or documentation you can then open the shared container to create these.
