DSXchange

I am trying to invoke a DataStage job from a windows batch file. I am passing in a parameter. I have read the skimpy notes in the Admin guide but the job will still not run. If I issue the command from a command window the command string works properly but within the windows .bat file it doesn't

DSJOBS.bat :
echo C:\IBM\InformationServer\Server\DSEngine\bin\dsjob -run -param LSPARMIN=1199228833 LSTESTING GaryTest1

any suggestions? I have tried also this command syntax :
echo C:\IBM\InformationServer\Server\DSEngine\bin\dsjob -user gary -password gary123 -run -param LSPARMIN=1199228833 LSTESTING GaryTest1

'Echo' is a command to write to the screen whatever information comes next, it doesn't run anything. Get rid of it, then see what happens.

If you want the command to be echoed to the screen you need to keep the echo command, but you still need a dsjob command.

Thanks for the tips. THEY WORKED!... I can now invoke DataStage Server jobs from our AS/400 ( iSeries) from within iSeries CL programs using the RUNRMTCMD. Pretty slick. we have jobs that dump data into staging tables and then need to invoke DataStage to process them and send them into another system.

Thanks for everyone's help
