Invoking datastage job through Autosys scheduler

[kumarreddy]

Hi,

Can we invoke a datastage job directly in autosys scheduler? Or is there any intermediate script (for eg: shell script) required to invoke the datastage job in autosys scheduler?

How is the datastage job failure information passed on to Autosys?

Thanks.

There is a Command Line utility called dsjob which is used to invoke DataStage jobs from, amongst other things, Enterprise Schedulers like AutoSys.

Search the forum, it has been discussed rather thoroughly here. As in a lot. There is a section in the Server Job Developers Guide dedicated to it, look for the Command Line Interface section near the end of the manual, read all about it there.

A DataStage job failure is passed by to AutoSys as an exit code. The simplest way to achieve this is to use the -jobstatus parameter when invoking the job.
