Passing paramter set in dsjob

Post by dls »

I have a sequence that passes several parameter sets to a sub-sequence that is part of a loop structure.

Running the sub-sequence sequentially w/in the loop structure is no longer viable.

Instead, I want to make the sub-sequence multi-instance, and (via a Command activity), trigger instances to run in the background.

How do I pass the parameter set value from the sequence to the multi-instance sub-sequence in a dsjob command?

Code: Select all

-param ParameterSetName=value
Here, value is the name of a Values File associated with the Parameter Set.
To have the Parameter Set use its "as defined" values, do not specify it in the dsjob command.

Code: Select all

-param ParameterSetName.ParameterName=value
Here, value is the actual value with which to replace ParameterName.
Any parameter not explicitly named will get its "as defined" value.
