Executing commands in parallel

I have the need to run multiple SQL commands (like osql and bcp) in parallel
from a single bat file. To describe this a little clearer...
While executing a single .BAT file, I want to be able to execute 3 OSQL
commands in parallel. Currently I have to run these 3 serially and it takes
too long.
Is there any way from within a single bat file that I could have 3 OSQL
commands running at the same time?
Thanks in advance."TJT" <T_homas.T_odd@.smed.com> wrote in message

Executing a package multiple times in parallel - can't see it in the GUI

Hi,
I am calling a package 4 times, in parallel, from a parent package. It
would be really nice if I could see 4 instances of this package in the GUI so I can see what each is doing.

Is that possible?

-JamieJamie, thanks for the feedback. The designer experience here is a little rough. I don't think we'll be able to do anything about it for now.
Please open a bug and we'll take a look for V.Next.
One thing you might try is to log progress and open the log whenever you want to see progress.
Thanks,
K|||Done. Track ID 642775426

Incidentally Kirk, did you see my post "Rowcounts don't appear" which is along a similar theme.

|||Yep, saw that Jamie. Thanks a heap. Have already put it into the V.Next "Think hard about this one" bucket.
K|||Cool. Cos I have to be honest, that's a major irritation for me at the moment cos of the huge (and I do mean HUGE) datasets I've been working with.
