Shell scripts and batch jobs (DataStage)

[chandankambli]

Hello All:

Usually during the development and testing we use director and sequences to execute jobs?

How do we use shell scripts for batch execution?

Pls. explain.

Pls. explain.

Pls. search.
There are a lot of topics on this discussion. You will also find sample scripts to execute jobs via scripts.

Define "batch" in your context.

Define "batch" in your context.

Batch of parallel jobs. Say if I have five Jobs to execute one after another. Once previous job is successful.

How we do that in shell scripting? is it a DSJob <params> or will it be DSRunJob <param> command?

Pls. explain.

dsjob -run

There is more to it...as already told by eveybody above, a search will give you many examples.

Have you constructed a formal Batch (in Director), using a Job Sequence or using a job control routine? Or do you just want to run a series of jobs from a script one after another?

In the latter case, simply string together appropriate dsjob commands in the shell script.

Sequence jobs are also datastage jobs and can be run via Job Control or a script. See Ray's reply.
