We need to launch a job (Data Stage XE 5.1, UX)when a certain event occurs.
Scheduling features don't seem to be a solution since jobs can be scheduled waiting for an event to happen (eg. file trasmission), but we don't know how to automatically reschedule jobs after the first execution.
Anybody has some suggestion?
Thanks,
Enrico

You need to think this through VERY CAREFULLY.
Is the event likely to occur twice in close succession? What do you propose should happen if the first start is still running when you want the second start to occur?
DataStage is not really intended to be event driven. The preferred approach is to have the event cause something else to happen, such as the creation or deletion of a file or flag value, which a regular batch run of DataStage can detect.
