datastage shudular

[suresh_dsx]

hi guys,
using datastage director ,i am scheduleing batches and some other jobs .i have only less features with that...any one knows any other tools (vendors) supporting scheduler in datastage.

[ArndW]

DataStage does not have a scheduler. It uses the default Windows AT or UNIX cron for scheduling.

In other words, you can use pretty much any one you want. Learn to love 'dsjob'!

You can possibly use

Cron Scheduler
Autosys or
Tivoli Job Scheduler.

Or:
SeeBeyond
Control-M
UC4

There are lots of third-party schedulers out there.

You can even write your own! Even in DataStage BASIC, as a job control routine that runs continuously (or almost continuously).

From a private message:

hey , u told me that .... other than datastage shudular we can go for DSJob what r the options in dsjob,.,,,,,how can i use (shudulur)

You would use the 'dsjob' command from any of the 3rd party Enterprise schedulers already noted. All it does is allow you to run any DataStage job (including Sequence jobs) from the command line. Most people will 'wrapper' it with scripting to check status, assign parameters, etc etc - a couple have been posted here and a search should turn them up.

As for the dsjob options, they are fully documented in the Command Line Interface section of the DataStage Development Kit (Job Control Interface) chapter in the Server Job Developer's Guide pdf manual. That's chapter 19 in my 7.5.1A version.

Use dsjob command in crontab to schedule.

You might as well stick with the DataStage 'scheduler' in that case.
