Difference between Control job and Sequencer....
Hi All,
I am very new to Sequencer.I am little bit confort in Datastg server jobs.I do not have samples for sequencer anymore and any guides ,help files.
So help me pls.
My 1st question is where can I get the sequencer guide?
2nd is:
What is the difference between Control job and Squencer job?
I am thinking as :
Control(batch) job collect the specific jobs and run sequentially like batch programs.
Also sequencer job does run the specific jobs sequentially like batch job I think.
So,may I know what's the difference between them and when I suppose to use the batch job and Sequencer job?
Thank in advance,

Welcome aboard. :D
A job sequence is a graphical means for creating a job control routine; having created and compiled a job sequence you can inspect the job control code in the sequence's job properties (on the Job Control tab).
A batch (created in Director) is also a way of creating a job control routine.
Job control routines can also be created by hand, or using the Add Job facility, in the job properties of a server job, again on the Job Control tab.
So, a "control job" is a server job in which there exists a job control routine. A "job sequence" is exactly the same, except that the job control routine is graphically created, so DataStage gives it a different job type (job sequence rather than server job).
The job control code in a job sequence is read only, so that you can not break the nexus between the graphical design and the job control routine code.

Hi Ray,
Thanks so much for your answer.
BTW,where can I find the doc for sequencer jobs?
I tried to create one sequencer job but whenever I put the Jobactivity tool to the repositry and then clicking properties,the job becomes hanging and I have to make End Task.
I don't know how to develop the sequencer jobs at all.So,could you pls let me know where the concerning documents are?
Thanks so much for your answer and time,
Peace

Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed? You'll need the 'SP2 Patch' to resolve problems like that, if that is the case. Download it from the eServices website.Peace wrote:I tried to create one sequencer job but whenever I put the Jobactivity tool to the repositry and then clicking properties,the job becomes hanging and I have to make End Task.
