Parallel execution of scenario

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to run a scenario (Say A) by passing different project variables simultaneously or in parallel.
I'm invoking these executions from command line.
Scenario A -> Variable X =1
Scenario A -> Variable X=2
The scenario loads data from a table to Essbase.
This is not working because the value of the project variable changes whenever a new instance of the scenario is initiated. This alters the number of records loaded for the previous execution.
Is there any other way of running scenarios in parallel ? (Scenarios that use a same global or project variable. )
One clumsy way of making this work would be to create more variables, scenarios and assign each unique variable to a scenario.
Are there any alternate options ?
Any ideas will be appreciated...

Answer 1

HI,
Thanks for the reply..
I tried running a scenario (created out of an package) using ODIStartScen utility (which inturn calls a scenario created out of an interface) but got the following error... I've tried running it both from command line and designer.

Also a simple scenario created out of the package runs fine from the command line (using startscen.bat) but not from the ODi designer. I get the following error when i run it from the designer.

A simple google search tells me that the above error is related to patching ODI. I'm currently on 10.1.3.5.5 (applied the .5 patch recently).
While applying the patch, I copied the oracledi folder given in the patch onto the oracledi folder under oracle_home (ODI) directory, I also re-imported / replaced the "lkm SQL to Hyperion Essbase Data " knowledge module. If I edit the KM I can see the Buffer size attribute in there.
Not sure what I'm missing here..
Any help would be appreciated.
