Datastage export of the scheduler.

It is possible to export your datastage project via the command line- something we do on a regular basis. DS just doesnt export the schedules. What us the best practice around backing this up? What we dont want, it so have it documented somewhere in a spreadsheet. What we do want, is for it to be easily recoverable, re-instated without much hassle, and for it to be correct.

The "schedule" on a UNIX platform is your crontab file. There is no mechanism to include this in an export. At best you can script to display the contents of your crontab file into a text file and keep that with your export. How you would rebuild that schedule would be up to your own ingenuity (scripting skills).
