I just started as an SCM in a new job where almost everything is based on DataStage... and to top it off, I've never used DataStage either..

Here is my question, is there a command line tool that will export a DSX file to XML? I'm thinking that I might write a check-in script that will will automagically convert all DSX files to XML before the commit..

The system was functional, but very unwieldy. It took quite a few months before it was stable to allow easy checkouts, modifications and checkin/promotions - but in the end it did provide control of the development and maintenance process.
