Container

Post by admin »

One of my colleagues has used a container within a job. He now wants to move one of the stages within the container outside. Is there an easy way to do this?

On a more general note, how many people out there have used containers, and for what reasons?

The only reason, that I can see, is to make the screen a bit more understandable. Correct me if I am wrong :-)

We had one team member make use of containers. Im not convinced that it improved readability. Im inclined to think that a job that is so complex that it needs containers to be readable, probably needs to be more than one job.

Generally, I have just found them to be a real pain. I too would like to know the answer to your question about moving stages out of a container. Im not holding my breath about an answer, though.

... I wonder if I could edit the DSX file effectively? .... Hmmm, now theres a thought.
