Not unless you have done an export. DataStage does not keep old versions without Version Control and it is a manual process like export. It will make a copy of the job into another project. You should export your jobs daily or weekly.

[br]Hi,

I accidently made some changes to a datastage job and save the changes. Can I retrieve the previous version of that job. I don't have the version control stuff. The reason I'm asking, because I was told Datastage keeps a few version for each datastage job.


Thanks in advance.


Twister will support the ability to undo changes up to a certain limit. Other than that, you will not be able to restore the changes unless you extracted it to a separate DSX file (or use Version Control, which I observed is inadequate as a Source Control mechanism for large projects with many programs utilizing multiple jobs.)
