Consider the job flow diagram in the display. Assume the inner job has a parameter defined specifying a table name. Which statement is FALSE?

Question

Options

• AThe Inner Job can be successfully executed by itself, but only if the defined parameter has been
• BThe Inner Job cannot be successfully executed by itself unless it is disassociated from the loop
• CThe Control Table column is mapped to the parameter defined for the Inner Job using the Loop
• DIf the server that executes the job has multiple CPUs, parallel processing can be enabled in the

• A
  7% (4)
• B
  74% (43)
• C
  16% (9)
• D
  3% (2)

Explanation

Option B is false because an inner job within a loop construct does not need to be disassociated from the loop to run independently - it retains its standalone executability as long as its required parameter has a value supplied at runtime. The loop relationship is a design-time configuration, not a runtime lock that prevents independent execution.

Why the distractors are true (and therefore not the answer):

• A is true: the inner job can run by itself, provided its parameter (the table name) is explicitly supplied when launching it directly.
• C is true: the loop mechanism maps columns from a control table to the inner job's parameters - that is exactly how looping over a list of tables works in these job flow architectures.
• D is true: multi-CPU servers can leverage parallel processing when it is enabled in the loop configuration, running multiple inner job instances concurrently.

Memory tip: Think of the inner job like a reusable function - it just needs its argument (parameter) to run anywhere. The loop is simply a caller, not a cage. If a statement says the job is trapped inside the loop, that's your false flag.
