Designing job batches

You can create job batches, which run a number of jobs in sequence.

These topics describe how to create and run job batches, including the following topics:

• What is a job batch
• Creating and running job batches
• Scheduling, unscheduling and rescheduling job batches
• Deleting batches from a project

Job batches are supported to provide continuity for existing DataStage users. If you want to create sequences of jobs, you should design sequence jobs in the Designer client rather than defining job batches in the Director client. Job sequences are more versatile and flexible than job batches.
