Ray, But if we don't want a common directory to store script, is there a way to distinguish the directory path where the script resides. I have been trying to use the CMD command and concatinate the parameter line. It's not working. Now I am trying to use the sh -c command. Still having problems wit...

Yes, but what are my other alternatives on a Windows box. Can I create a UNIX script and call it. Would this work with the MKS Toolkit.

I just found out that the source system change a key datatype length that cause Oracle to hang through DataStage. Looks like Ogmios was correct. It wasn't a DataStage problem. I change the target database and everything worked fine.

Let me further explain. There is only one job processimg one table. A straight read and write. What I am not sure about is on the source Oracle EE stage it reads in sequential mode.

The DatastageExport script works well. It's the Datastage popup dialogue boxes that are the problem. The script requires manual intervention everytime an export job ends before the loop can continue. I haven't found a workaround yet.

I got the DatastageExport script to work and it exports jobs one by one. Because it invokes Datastage, once the export completes the first job, it requires user intervention to commence the next job. Is there a way to eliminate this. I would like the script to export all jobs without having to inter...

I searched the forum for answers, downloaded some of KDukes scripts and tried to use them. No luck so far. Next I tried to run the DSEXport command from...
