We study the correlations between the jet ejection event and changes in the continuum emission of the radio-loud galaxy 3C 390.3, using the archived monitoring data in radio, optical and X-ray. We present evidence for the link between the variable optical continuum and a stationary radio feature in the jet. The ejection of radio components happens during, or after, the dip in the X-ray light curve. Moreover, during the X-ray dip the flux variability is significantly reduced while the hardness ratio and its variance becomes harder. These findings strengthen the idea of similarity between active galactic nuclei (AGN) and microquasars, pointing towards a common physical mechanism acting in the disk-jet system. Other similarities are also discussed on the basis of comparision between 3C 390.3 and the microquasars GRS 1915+105 and Cyg X-1. If the analogy (based on linear mass scaling) between the ejection rates of the microquasar GRS 1915+105 and 3C 390.3 is correct, then the rate of ejections in 3C 390.3 should vary between ~(0.01 to 1) ejections per year on a time scale of thousand years.
