Using Job Sequencers

Job Sequencers enable you to:

Set up a sequence of server jobs to run.
Specify control information such as different course of action depending on load type or other criteria.

Designing job sequencers is similar to designing server jobs. You create the job sequence in DataStage Designer, add activities from the palette, and then join or sequence activities together using links. You control the flow of the activity sequence using triggers.

Once you have defined a job sequence, you can schedule and run the job from DataStage Director.

Note: Job sequencers can also be run using DataStage Director.
