Allow Multiple instance error

Post by dsguy »

Hi

I need to run the same job(X) parallel with different parameters 70 times . I have enabled Allow Multiple instance but the job got aborted giving a fatal error that x.file got aborted.

Please let me know whether there is any limit or w need to set any environment variable.

Thanks for your help

You need to make sure that each instance running in parallel gets a unique instance identifier

You also must not break any rules, such as having multiple jobs (job instances) writing to the same text file.

I, for one, have never seen an 'Allow Multiple instance error', so not really sure exactly what that means. It would probably help to post your actual error message(s) if you still need help.
