Export XML

Hi everibody.
I want to export my DS projects in XML, by using dsexport.exe command.

Can anyone help me with the syntax??

In particular I need the ones that give me the options included in the 'XML-Tab' showed in the Manager Export Window. I know the 'classic' syntax (-h hostname -u username -p password -o projectname pathfile)
Thanks

The Server Developer's guide should have all this info for you.

Unfortunately neither Server Developer guide nor Manager Guide can help me (i.e. page 289 (15-15) Manager Guide r.7.5.1)

For example the \XML options isn't mentioned, but we use it and it works.

help me, please

Please be more specific - what options on the 'XML tab' are you interested in? If this is something that is truly undocumented, then your best bet would be to contact your official Support provider, get the information directly from the source.

I played around earlier at work and couldn't find a way to do it. You might try to take a look at the dscmdexport.exe in your favorite binary editor and find the constants section and search that for a possible command line option for xml. Failing that, I'd go through your support provider and see if there is an undocumented option to do this.

I need to export my jobs by using dsexport.exe (alternatively dscmdexport.exe), in XML format, including following options belonging to Option Tab:
1. Defaulted Properties
2. ReadOnly Objects
3. Referenced shared containers

and the one belonging to XML Tab:
1.Output as externalized strings

Thanks
M.A.

Why not enable server side tracing and do an export from Manager, then disable server side tracing and inspect the trace file so you can see how DataStage does it? It might give a clue. Then again, it might not.

Unfortunately, I had no help from this workaround

It wasn't a 'work around', it was a diagnostic technique. Did you actually enable server side tracing and inspect the trace file?

Regardless, sounds to me like it's time for you to contact your official Support provider and get them involved in your issue.

Yes, I did it! No useful information.
I agree with you! It's time to contact Technical Support.
As soon as I get the information, I'll let you know.
Thanks a lot anyway
