    A sequencer allows you to synchronize the control flow of multiple activities in a job sequence. It can have multiple input triggers as well as multiple output triggers.The sequencer operates in two modes:ALL mode. In this mode all of the inputs to the sequencer must be TRUE for any of the sequencer outputs to fire.ANY mode. In this mode, output triggers can be fired if any of the sequencer inputs are TRUE

    As previous posts already pointed out, there are only two modes: All or Any. All means all incoming triggers must be true and Any means at least one needs to be true. However, in case, if you want to execute next job even though all the incoming triggers are False, then Seqencer is NOT the solution.

    @Rohit: Yes you can run the 2nd job even if the first one fails. For that you need to set the trigger option to unconditional. However, the control comes to the 2nd job only after the 1st job has run (pass or fail).

  • Did you Parameterize the job or hard-coded the values in the jobs?

    Did you Parameterize the job or hard-coded the values in the jobs?

    Always parameterized the job. Either the values are coming from Job Properties or from a ‘Parameter Manager’ – a third part tool. There is no way you will hard–code some parameters in your jobs. The often Parameterized variables in a job are: DB DSN name, username, password, dates W.R.T for the data to be looked against at.
