Can seprate steps have different classes in a single Job?

Post by Leena »

Hello,

Is it possible to have different classes for different steps in the Job? For example,

Step1 class=a
Step2 class=b
Step3 class=3

I ask this, as step1 might take longer time than step2/3 and might be suitable for a different class.

No. This would require that the job could leave one initiator and continue in another. If you want to run something with a different class, put it in a different job.

Thanks for your quick reply William. That's what I thought but thought if there is a way out, so asked away.

Regards,
