Input and Output metadata of Shared Containers

Hi All,

I am new in using shared containers. I have read the help guide provided by Datstage. I tried implementing a sample job using it.

I just need a confirmation if the metadata(columns) passing into and coming out from shared containers are always fixed. Is it that, they cant be changed across jobs?

Please excuse if it is a very basic doubt.
Thanks,

Shared Containers are reusable pieces of ETL 'code' that can be shared across jobs, and thus their Input/Output link metadata is fixed at creation time.

Thanks a lot Chulett.

This clears my doubt.
