To Update DSParams file through DS Routine

Amit_111 · Post by **Amit_111** » Fri Jan 21, 2011 3:46 am

Can I update DSParams file to assign a value to a particular parameter declared in the DSParams file through a user defined DS routine?

If Yes, Please help me with some pointers to do the same.

Thanks.

You can do it by providing the right path in the code but its not advisable to change 'datastage system files as the datastage job runs'

Thanks but then what should be the correct approach to do the same?

The right approach is not to touch DSParams programatically.

If you feel you really must (why?), make sure that the routine preserves the previous (last known good) version.
