invocation id in sequence job

some of the job activities have the invocation id and some do not? is there a reason for that?

what do i need to do to get the invocation id in every job activity. Because, my sequence runs in a loop so i want the execution be separated for each iteration.

Thanks in advance...

You only get the InvocationID prompt for jobs that are Multi-Instance enabled. Don't see what looping has to to with InvocationIDs, however. :?

If you need invocation_id for each loop activity, then you must declare a parameter called "instance no" or some thing. This parameter must be changing every time a new loop is running, it must be dynamically changing. One important point is job must be multi instance job and invocation id must be mapped with parameter(dynamic).


But I dont know how good it works...

You could use the $Counter property.

But the job, if it is inside the loop, will complete before the loop re-iterates, so it does not need to be multi-instance at all. Nor does it need an invocation ID.

Exactly.
