How to differentiate between changes to a datastage job

cosec · Post by **cosec** » Thu Apr 16, 2009 4:09 am

Hi,

Suppose a datastage job has been changed from its previous version and no description of the change is noted, is there a way I could spot the changes to a datastage job ?

For e.g using CVS I can tell if a change has been made or not. But to find out specifically what changes have been made...is it possible ?

Appreciate, your advice.

Thanks.

You'd need an exported copy of the job before and after the change was made. You could diff the two and get close. I don't know the best way to do this in Windows although I have done it with some XML "diff" utilities in the past. This obviously means exporting the job before/after as xml. I am not aware of any other way to compare prior to release 8.

Look in DS_AUDIT, find out who made the change, and beat the information you want out of them.

Version 8 has comparison tools.
