An exact search here for "dsgetjobinfo" and/or "dsj.jobstatus" should turn up code samples you can steal as a starting point. :wink: For example, here. Cherry pick the parts out of that and/or other posts and put some effort into getting something together you think is close. Pos...

Just one routine at the start of the final Sequence. Look into the DSGetJobInfo function with an InfoType of DSJ.JOBSTATUS, one call for each of the previous four Sequence jobs. Each should return DSJS.RUNOK for the routine to pass back an "Ans" that you would check in the attached trigger...

You are assuming that what they posted exactly matches what they are actually doing... and we all know how often that's not the case. :wink:

I guess we shall see, however.

A) Wrong forum... moved here from the FAQ Discussion forum.
B) Took off and nuked it from orbit, it was the only way to be sure.

A bit overly complicated, don't you think? I'm pretty sure you have a couple of cleaner options:

DATEPART()
MONTH()

Online documentation.

That's all I got. Don't do SQL Server. :wink:

I was wondering what the various options controlled and found this if you're curious. Looks like it may still generate inserts but do bulk loads 'under the covers'. In your shoes I'd enlist the aid of your DBA or official support provider to confirm.

EnableBulkLoad=0

Set it to 1. The rest should be fine for the initial attempts.
