Behavior of Multi-Instance job in Director Client



Multi-Instance Job:
                DataStage is supporting Multi-Instance jobs which can be run at same time with different invocation id.
      Today, we will discuss the behavior of multi-instance datastage job in Director.


Running Jobs:
                When we run the multi-instance job, it will ask for Invocation Id to be passed, when the job is running, it will display a new job in director in format <JOB_Name>.<Invok_Id>. Nothing change in original job, it is still in compiled status. So, if we invoke job 3 times with 3 invocation id, it will generate 3 jobs in director -

Jobname.InvkId1
Jobname.InvkId3
Jobname.InvkId3


Monitoring Jobs: 
                 We can monitor each invoked job as it is been generated and visible in the Director with invocation id. But the tool is using the same RT_LOGnn file to write the job log for all invocation id, So we can see the n instance in director and its log in the Director but in backend, it is a single file. We can monitor, stop and check individual job log.


Deleting Jobs:
                If we delete a job instance from director, it will be deleted and other instances will remain there But the job log for this instance is still with RT_LOGnn file ( we can access through from Datastage Command Line but not in Datastage Director as job instance has been deleted).


Purging Job logs:
               If we purge the job log in datastage, it will delete the job instances as well as job logs from RT_LOGnn file. So the difference here is that the Director delete action only deletes records from RT_STATUS whereas the purging mechanism deletes records from RT_LOG.
