a) This stuff isn't all that hard to figure out on your own, give it a little more effort before posting. Please.

b) The letter in front of the 'params' option is an 'l' for 'List', not a 1 as you've shown you are using.

c) That command won't get you what you want.

Hi Gurus,
I went to the path where these projects are found.

In the command path i went to
c:\ascential\datastage\projects\salma10.

and i gave the command
dsjob -1params salma10 job1

iam getting error.
INVALID/UNKNOWN PRIMARY COMMAND SWITCH.
dsjob [-file <file> <server> | [-server <server>][-user <user>][-password <password>]]
<primary command> [<arguments>]

[sigh]

See point (b) above. Then (a). Then (c).

Looks like you are using '1' (One) instead of 'l' (Alphabet l)

Use not

Or was it a typo?

You cannot run the command from there. You need run it from : if that is were the program dsjob.exe was installed.

Actually, he could so his PATH must be setup correctly. You can tell because it complained about the INVALID/UNKNOWN PRIMARY COMMAND SWITCH, not the fact that it couldn't find the executable.

And you don't need to be 'in the path where the Projects are found' for it to find things properly - you just need to get the dang command right.

Hi Gurus,

Thanks very much.

The command works, but iam getting error

i used c:\ascential\datastage\projects\salma10 dsjob -lparams salma10 job1.

Compile your job and try again.
If not try searching for Status code = -1004 here
You should have get your answer.

Hi Gurus,

Its working fine , i used command dsjob -paraminfo SALMA10 JOB1 $ODBCCONNECTION.

Iam getting default value- $projdef.

i went to director and checked the log, i can't find the Actual value.
please help me Gurus, from where i can get the actual value.

Thanks very much Gurus, please help me how to retrieve the actual value.

In the second line of the log you will find 'Environment variable settings'. Double click that and you will have what you need. Apart from your encrypted passwords you will find other actual values.

In DS Administrator, where you set up the default values.

Not sure if you can get this information from dsjob -paraminfo.
Environment Variable is more a global thing than specific to a job.
Would be interesting if somebody know how to get its value through command line.

No, you can't.

Oddly enough, you need to go back to Ray's first reply to this whole Charley Foxtrot for the answer - it's all in the logs. That is where you need to go to find what you are looking for. The first log entry lists the parameter values in that particular run and the second lists all of the environment variables in play. He even gave the commands to help you farm the appropriate records out.

Now go do it, it's just an exercise in shell scripting. If you need some help, go ask your Team Lead.

We use a script which reads paramaeter values from files in the OS and then runs the job. We built these files from the dsjob command. If you cannot figure out the syntax then I will post it.

Hi Kim,

Can you please post the script which reads paramaeter values from files in the OS and then runs the job.
