Use a parameter as jobname in a tRunJob component

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to use a global variable or a context variable as jobname in a tRunJob component?
If yes, how?
What I want to do is to have a list of jobs in a file and to execute them sequentially.
Thanks

Hi Didier,
"Use dynamic job " option allow multiple Jobs to be called and processed.
Please refer to the scenario "Running a list of child Jobs dynamically" from component reference:TalendHelpCenter:tRunJob

Thanks Sabrina,
So I have looked the help page and modified my job



but currently I have the following erreor:
Démarrage du job PMI_Schedule a 10:52 21/01/2016.
connecting to socket on port 3630
connected
Exception in component tFlowToIterate_1
job1|Q
job2|M
java.lang.NullPointerException
    at pmi.pmi_schedule_0_1.PMI_Schedule.tFileInputExcel_1Process(PMI_Schedule.java:1495)
    at pmi.pmi_schedule_0_1.PMI_Schedule.runJobInTOS(PMI_Schedule.java:2196)
    at pmi.pmi_schedule_0_1.PMI_Schedule.main(PMI_Schedule.java:2024)
disconnected
Job PMI_Schedule terminé à 10:52 21/01/2016.

why?
As you can see I can displyed the data:
job1|Q
job2|M
Where is the problem?
Thanks

Hi,
You are using "If" connection type between tflowtoiterate and tRunjob. What's the condition?
It seems that ((String)globalMap.get("log.Nom_du_job")) doesn't receive any value.

below the condition:
(String)globalMap.get("frequence").equals("Q")||((String)globalMap.get("frequence").equals("M")&&TalendDate.getFirstDayOfMonth(TalendDate.getCurrentDate())==TalendDate.getCurrentDate())

Hi,
Have you tried to use "iterate" row without this condition to see if your job works?
Best regards

with iterate:
Démarrage du job PMI_Schedule a 11:37 21/01/2016.
connecting to socket on port 3612
connected

I have done many tests and it does not work
I think that my ((String)globalMap.get("Nom_du_job")) is empty in the tRunJob component:


the global variable Nom_du_job should be defined in the tFlowToIterate component ???
Could you tell me where I am wrong?
Thanks
Didier
