Is there a way to list the routines used in a job?

Heck, for that matter, is there a way to programmatically get a list of routines within a project?

I know that I can manually look through a job and manually see routines used in various places (Derivations, Constraints, Stage vars, etc). I was looking for an automated way to get a list of routines within a job.

Thanks for your help,

For the first you would need to effect a number of queries against DS_JOBOBJECTS - the ROOT record for before/after subroutines, each active stage record for active stages in server jobs, each Transformer stage record for transform functions in server jobs (and others for parallel jobs).

A query on DS_ROUTINES ought to do it for the second.

Thanks, Ray.

Interestingly enough, I tried using the manual "Usage Analysis" function within DataStage Manager. I have some routines that I KNOW are used within a UserVariable activity on a Job Sequencer job. When I run the usage analysis on them, nothing shows up.

I figured that it would be something like that. I know nothing about DS_JOBOBJECTS, so that project may have to wait for another day when I have more time.

Is there an easy way to get this list out into a file?

I appreciate your help.

One way would be using COMO, found a small discussion on its use here:

I'm an idiot.

I used a UNIVERSE stage. Set to custom SQL.

SQL = SELECT DSRID FROM DS_Routines;

one column named DSRID varchar(72)

good as gold.

Thanks everyone.

Or that.

Didn't even need user-defined SQL!

I know, Ray, but I kept getting an error because the Universe stage put double quote marks around the table name, which caused it to error with something like "Invalid table name". I couldn't quickly figure out how to make it stop doing that, so I used Custom SQL.

The real table name is DS_ROUTINES (all upper case). The UV stage quotes any table name that contains any non upper case (or numeric or underscore) character. Now you know.

Thanks, Ray. I didn't know that (obviously). There are so many things that I don't know about DataStage, it's embarassing.

I do appreciate your time and knowledge.
