Login to DS Manager.

I assume it is Tools -> Export -> DataStage Components

Select whole project and give it a file.

You need to do one project at a time.

K. - the method is the same at 3.5 as it is at 7.5; export the project from the manager and reimport the same way in the new project. I gather that some modifications were necessary 'twixt Revs 5&6 so you might have to do some editing.

Hi Arnd,

What are editings to be done , can you be more elaborate on this asap.

Or is it just exporting and importing as Sainath was saying.

Thank you,

From version 5 onwards, you cannot modify incoming values in a routine.

You need to use CheckRoutines.B for this purpose. This is documented in upgrade guide to v5.

I assume it must be provided in upgrade guide of v7 also.

Annapurna,

if you define a function "MyFunction(Param1,Param2,Param3) the 3 parameters should not be changed in the function; this is a pass-by-reference. If you call the function from a transform AND you modify the parameter values in the function you will have your jobs disfunction and abort.

Can you tell me what is difference in Transform Function and
Function from Routine Category.

What is the main difference between Transforms and Routines?

Please Asap.

Thank you

Please don't double post.

You already have a thread for discussing this.

Set an internal memory variables and use it instead of the incoming ones.
