DSXchange

Hi,
We have a scenario where we need to kick off a job if the job name is populated in a table, did any one had a smiliar situation,

basically a table is populated (clear and load) every day with job names, if the DS job name is present in the table that needs to be kicked off, we are using ControlM as the scheduling tool.

Thanks,

It should be achievable.
Get a list of your jobs into a file and pass it as a parameter to UtilityRunJob

Hi,
If lets say there are 5 jobs that are required to be run but in a specific sequence, can we control that too, I am looking in to the UtilityRunJob, but trying to understand the design to in corporate the job dependencies.

Thanks !

UtilityRunJob() is just present in server i believe, not too sure, dont have access to DS right now so cannot validate that. Populate the table into a flat file, have a small shell script read that file line by line and pass the jobname to dsjob command. You can control this in a sequence job.

Yes it can be controlled. Depends upon what sequence fed to the UtilityRunJob().
