calling each stored procedure parallel in sql job
-
Thursday, January 31, 2013 5:29 AM
There are 4 steps
Step 1. Loading data from different sources into local server
Step 2. Three separate stored procedure to load data into three different tables
using tables loaded from step 1.
I want to run step 2,
calling each stored procedure parallel instead of running step by step.
is it possible in SQL Agent job?
currently i have job steps as follows
Step 1 : Load Source data
Step 2 : Populate first table calling stored procedure 1
Step 3 : Populate second table calling stored procedure 2
Step 4 : Populate third table calling stored procedure 3
ThanksV

Hi, SSIS is the way for you. SSIS can do the parallel work as you desired. Then call the SSIS package in the step 2.

Thursday, January 31, 2013 5:38 AMYes, I can do with SSIS but is it possible without SSIS like batch file

Hi Vaishu - As said, SSIS is the best for you.
It does not mean we can not acheive it. We can acheive by splitting the job into multiple jobs and schedule at the same time once the Step 1 is executed(Step1 should be separate job which should be completed before we kick off the others). And I am not fan of ofcourse. We have better way with SSIS.

Thursday, January 31, 2013 5:55 AMIt depends on what you use to run the SP's. Is it SSMS? If yes then just open 3 query windows to the same SQL Server. Each window has its own connection. Simply execute a single SP in each of the query windows. Since they use separate connections then they will run in parallel.

Yes, you can do usign SQL Server Ajent Job,
Please see below code, tweak it as per your SP names
exec Sp_Create_Jobs @job_name = 'Start SP1', @command = 'exec YourStpredprocedure1 ', @output_file_name = 'SP1.log' exec Sp_Create_Jobs @job_name = 'Start SP2', @command = 'exec YourStpredprocedure2 ', @output_file_name = 'SP2.log' exec Sp_Create_Jobs @job_name = 'Start SP3', @command = 'exec YourStpredprocedure3 ', @output_file_name = 'SP3.log'

i decided to go with SSIS, what is good practice, three Execute SQL Task, with one connection or create three connection use separate connection for each SQL Task
Thanks
