Hi All,

Like we submit a data stage job from unix using dsjob command, how can i submit a project. My project has 10 jobs. have created a sequence too. How do I submit it now? so that all of them run as per their order in sequence?

You submit the jobs ones by one, not 'the project'. Or just run the Sequence job if it handles all of the jobs itself.

They only have an "extension" if they are multi-instance, that's when you add the "dot" and the Invocation Id to the name. Otherwise, it's just the name.

Open job properties and under General tab there will be a check box called "Allow Multiple Instance". Please enable it. It will create multiple instance jobs. While running, it will ask for invocation id. Finally your job will run as JobName.InvocationID

Make sure you understand what that does, jobs typically need to be designed with multi-instance capabilities in mind. There's more to it than simply flipping the switch.

Thanks Craig.... Is there any documentation about the same?

Should be. In the 7.x world it was all documented in the manual for the Director client, not sure where it might have ended up in the 8.x world.
