No :!:
It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for ETL, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous.

Thanks for the response...Is it compulsory to give the job parameters in the sequencer job activity? or will it use the parameters that already there in the underlying job? I think the job parameters in the job activity are needed only if we need to overwrite the job parameters of the underlying job. Am i correct?

Thanks.

Yes. Blank in the Sequence Job Activity parameter = take the default setup in the job. Keep in mind the fact that that's not always allowed - required parameters with no default will force a parameter value in the Sequence.

No, because you can not compile a sequencer alone.

A sequencer is one of the components you can use in a job sequence.

Please be careful with terminology.

(Yes, I know that the official IBM training materials aren't always 100% accurate with terminology either. But mine are. So do not only what I say, but also what I do!)
