Hi,
How to execute a job and loop through it until you have 5 jobs running in parallel(same job name)

SSIS packages do not contain while loops (except, possibly, within scripts) and do not have the concept of jobs either.

Is this even an SSIS question? If so, can you be more careful with your terminology and try to clarify your question please?

Thanks for your reply.

My SSIS package is configured by job.so i want to execute that job through stored procedure and i am try to execute that job 5 times parallel with same name instance.

SP Query eg:-

--------------

WHILE (@CntStart < @CntEnd)

BEGIN

WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:00.05'

EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_start_job N'Dynamic_Mapping'

SET @CntStart = @CntStart + 1

END

is it possible?

Not possible as far as I know. SQL Server jobs can have only one instance at a time.

As far as I know, you can't have the same SQL Server job running more than once at any one time. If you are only ever going to need to run it five times at once, why not create five different jobs? Or, you could put all your job logic into an SSIS package and call that package as many times you like at once.
