Version of jobs in dsx file

Hi All,

I have a dsx file which I am trying to import into DataStage 7.1 version.
The import does not work and my guess is that it could be because the dsx file could be from a different version of DataStage. Is there any way to find out from which version of DataStage the dsx file was created?

Regards,
Sumit

I get the following error message while doing the import:

Error while creating job CW_GL_IT00003_J_DFPR_ACT_ENT
Error on CREATE.FILE command ()

Any idea why could it be?

Thanks and Regards,

Imports from other versions of DataStage work just fine - as long as the version being imported is < the version being imported into, i.e. is older. The import process will automatically upgrade your jobs to the current version. What version are you importing from?

Other things off the top of my head - are you running out of space? Is your export corrupted?

Thats what my question is. Does a dsx file store any information about the version of the tool using which the dsx file was created?

I checked the space and we have close to 6gig of space available.

Thanks and Regards,
Sumit

Error on CREATE.FILE command suggests a space or permissions problem. Does the executing user have write permission to the VOC file or to the project directory? Execute (use) permission is also needed to the directory.
