How to take backup of only few Categories of a project

[reddy]

Hello sir,

Currently i am taking backup of my windows server where my datastage installed (all projects) every week.
But in one of my project(HR) i have to take backup of 2 Categories every day.
Currently i am using windows batch file that contains following code:
*****************************************************
:: Supply values to paramters.
SET Host=156.80.214.58
::SET Host=dwetl-prod.bah.com
SET User=dsadmin
SET PW=adm1n
::SET BackupDir=c:\temp
SET BackupDir=d:\DSETLBackUp\Project
:: SET CompTog=%5
:: GOTO Syntax
:: *****************************************************
:: Hard-coded values. Dependent on each computer.

SET DsxCmd=C:\Progra~1\Ascential\DataStage7.5.1\dscmdexport.exe
::SET DsxJob=C:\Progra~1\Ascential\DataStage\dsjob.exe
SET TempFile=%BackupDir%\ProjList.txt
SET BadFile=%BackupDir%\BadProj.txt
SET GoodFile=%BackupDir%\GoodProj.txt
SET DSLog=BackupLog
:: SET CompScri=gzip --name -3
:: ******************************************************
Can you guys help me out how to take only few categories of one of my project.

Thanks in advance

command line backup is project wide and cannot be done (as per my knowledge) on a category or job basis.

Code: Select all

DSExport /U=%UserName% /P=%Password% /H=%Host% /JOB=JobName %Project% FileName 

Use the above option to export job wise. You can pass the list of jobs in a category as parameter.

So we can do it on a per job basis. All this time i was under the impression that it could only be done project wide. Thanks for the insight Kumar.
