Hi All,

In our Batch process we call several shells and several datastage jobs,

can we call a parallel datastage Job in server Batch process.

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

yes

More than likely the answer is 'Yes', but I'd be curious what exactly you mean by 'server Batch process'?

yes. Batch jobs are no different than Sequences - they use the same API calls an unix command line dsjob. There's no difference between job types - Sequence, Batch, Server, or PX w/r/t job control.

server batch jobs

I meant in a server job , in the job control page if we can call multiple datstage jobs in sequence , which might be parallel datastage jobs or server datastage job.

Thanks for the inputs.

Still Yes.

You can even start job sequences or other batch jobs.

Thanks for your response Ray again.

Can a vice versa is possible?

Vice-versa? You mean calling server jobs from job control in a Parallel job? The answer remains "yes"

There is no such thing as a parallel job sequence. There are only four job types in DataStage: server, mainframe, parallel and job sequence.

Therefore the "vice versa" question is really moot.

Thanks ArndW,

What neccessary steps need to be taken while calling server or parallel jobs in sequence.

Thanks

From a sequence all you need is the Job Activity stage, and there is no difference there in how the jobs are called.
