HI

Would like to get documentation reports for all the jobs in a project in a faster way.. How can I do that?

Actully, I can generate the documentation report for each job seperately in Administrator.. But to generate reports for 100's of jobs in a project..in a faster way... I need a best solution..

Thanks
Sai

Faster than what? Getting a faster server and faster network might be one approach.

I'm curious about how you get reports using the Administrator. Please advise.

Any automated solution involves YOU creating a script or routine to iterate through all the job names and produce the reports using appropriate techniques.

There are two ways I know of..

1. Open each job in designer and generate report..

2. Use command dsdesign.exe through the parameters and generate the report.

We can automate the second one, except if we come to know all the job names in a file, which we can supply as jobname parameter to dsdesign.exe command.

Thanks

I am not aware of getting a report from commandline using dsdesign.exe .Could you please give the syntax ?? I think You can also use dsjob command to get job report

Crazy thought, but a search of the forums here for "dsdesign" would answer your question.

No, just being a smart alec, the 'crazy thought' was that you might actually just search for the answer rather than ask someone to type it up one more time. :wink:
