How to Skip more than one Step

[arun4]

Hi All,
I need to skip more than one step in a job.
The step name to be skipped is passed through the job parameters.

My XML Code look like this
************************** XML **********************
<batch:job id="Amex_Job" >
<batch:step id="Clear_Report_tables" next="Generate_Amex">
<batch:tasklet ref="stepExecutionTasklet" >
</batch:tasklet>
</batch:step>
<batch:step id="Generate_Amex" next="AMEX_due_paid_from_Suspense">
<batch:tasklet ref="stepExecutionTasklet">
</batch:tasklet>
</batch:step>
<batch:step id="AMEX_due_paid_from_Suspense" next="AMEX_due_Suspended_Mandates">
<batch:tasklet ref="stepExecutionTasklet">
</batch:tasklet>
</batch:step>
<batch:step id="AMEX_due_Suspended_Mandates" next="AMEX_Payments_Raised">
<batch:tasklet ref="stepExecutionTasklet">
</batch:tasklet>
</batch:step>
<batch:step id="AMEX_Payments_Raised" next="Create_Amex_Export_Table">
<batch:tasklet ref="stepExecutionTasklet">
</batch:tasklet>
</batch:step>
<batch:step id="Create_Amex_Export_Table" next="Export_Amex">
<batch:tasklet ref="stepExecutionTasklet">
</batch:tasklet>
</batch:step>
<batch:step id="Export_Amex">
<batch:tasklet ref="stepExecutionTasklet"></batch:tasklet>
</batch:step>
<batch:listeners>
<batch:listener ref="jobExecutionListener" />
</batch:listeners>
</batch:job>

you can also use the conditional flow elements (next, etc) to control the flow of your steps:

Hi All,
Thanks for ur reply..
Number of step to be skipped is passed through job Parameters.
If my job contain 10 steps then do we need to write 10 Decider? or can we use single decider to skip the required steps(number of steps to be skipped might vary from 0 - 10)?
