Scheduling jobs more than daily

Hello,
We are running Datastage 5.1 on Unix. There are jobs that need to be run every 15 minutes. I didn't see that option on the scheduler. Does anyone do this, or can it be done?

Thanks,
Angela

Unless you are using some other scheduler, you will be limited to the capabilities of the system scheduler, cron in the case of Unix. What scheduler are you using?

DataStage Basic has a sleep command "Sleep [Seconds]". You may find it easier to write a Batch job that runs in a loop with a sleep of up to 15 minutes that runs the jobs that need to be run on a frequent schedule. This batch job can ensure aborted jobs are reset and can send emails when an error occurs.

you can create a unix script to execute your data stage job,
and schedule that script in cron to run every 15 minutes.

Hi

Is there any way in DataStage 7.5.x to schedule jobs more than daily.. i.e., hourly, etc.

Thanks
Sai

You really should start your own post rather than jump on the end of a six year old post, but - short answer is 'yes'. Simply 'Add to Schedule' multiple times.

if using the UNIX then use the CRONTAB to set on hour or minute basis.
if using mainframe(OPC) make it a time dependent job.
