As long as you didn't use "SETFILE" or your hash file was created by a job using a project name or the default "account" option, you are safe to issue the rm command to remove hash files.

There is a "D_filename" file in the directory where the hash file resides. It's easiest to issue an "rm -r *filename" as long as that doesn't pick up extra hash files.

yes , I didnot use the SETFILE option to create the file , the hash file was

created by the datastage job itself in the hash files directory ,

so i can safely use rm command as you suggested Kcbland.

Thank you so much for ur time and immediate response.

I always use Administrator. On the Projects tab click on your project and use Command. On the command line use:

Code: Select all

delete.file hashfilename

This should be the safest option.

Hi,

Like Nic said using,

Code: Select all

DELETE.FILE HashFileName

would be the best bet.

Thanks,

This only works if the hash file was created in the project using the default option, not an externally pathed file.
