InvocationID Propagation

Post by JPalatianos »

Hi,
I am working on a new project and setting it up as Allowing Multiple Instances.
My question is if all the Sequences and job within a sequence are defined as "Allow Multiple Instance" and we call the Sequence with an invocation ID will that ID be propagated to all the jobs called by the sequence?

As an exmple....I call sequence A that calls jobs 1, 2, and 3.

If I eceute the sequence as A.InvID will the jobs it calls automatically inherit the invocation ID as 1..InvID, 2.InvID and 3..InvID

Thanks - - John

Not automatically, but you can design it so that the invocation ID is propagated. (You may need to replicate the invocation ID as a parameter of the sequence to achieve this.)

Thanks Ray! I did what you suggested and we are now running multiple instances of the sequence and jobs!
