Tringger n instances of a job parallely

[samyamkrishna]

Hi All,

I would like to trigger multiple instances of a job say 'n' times.
I need 'n' to be a dynamic value which i can choose at run time.

How do i do this?

Regards,
Samyam

Use a start and end loop activity with the counter value as a parameter, You pass the required value at runtime and the job would loop from 1 to n.

Use the counter value as the INV_ID while calling the parallel job.

Thanks for your reply.
The loop will call it sequentially one after another.

I need it to be triggered parallely.

You would either have to write a custom routine or call the jobs from the command line.

It depends entirely on what sort of job monitoring you want to do.

You could use the loop, but use an Execute Command activity to request the job to be run as a nohup background process via the dsjob command line.

Hi,

Keep as much instance as you wanted to run in between the start loop and the end loop ...use a static (harcoded) invocation id and then run the sequence

Example : if you wanted 8 parallel jobs to run


SL(StartLoop)------{8 instance of the same job with hardcoded invocation id} .... EndLoop

When you give the number of instance you wanted to run ..divide it by no. of instance you have kept(in the above example its 8)

Thanks All for your replys.

I am going temporarily with the parallel seqeunce in a loop.
Also working on the script.

PS: The scripts is becoming bigger and bigger everytime i test it.
