I want to run a data flow from the entire job which contains more than 10.

Please advise.

Here you go Kiwi,

You want to run a dataflow in the job among 10 dataflows right?
You can do that by adding script in the job before the workflow that consists of the 10 dfs and then you have to use the Conditional for each dataflow.
In the script you have to create 10 variables one for each dataflow and initialize them with ‘Y’ or ‘N’.So in the Conditional that consists of the dataflow you want to run, in the IF condition put it as 'upper($run_df1)=‘Y’.For the dfs you don’t want to run intialize the global variable as ‘N’ and put it in the IF condition of the conditional.

I hope you get it what I said.

Thanks,
Niranjan

Adding to this suggestion, I think it would be better to set the variables to N so that you will need to set the variable flag values at run time for the dataflows that you want to execute via the execution variable window. That way you won’t need to constantly change the script within the job with every run and the job will run only the dataflows that are flagged.
