Hi,
I would like to know is it wise to have a set of parallel jobs being run by a server batch control job.
Your views will be much appreciated.

I don't see any issue and have done so without issue in the past. Do you have any specific concerns?

A job sequence (consisting solely of job activities linked one after the other) compiles to exactly the same Job Control routine as a Batch or user-written routine.

... and doesn't really know or care if the job it is running is Server or Parallel.

Thanks all for your inputs. I had never done that before and hence wished to know the implications.
