Are there any unix commands to compile Ds jobs. If so can some please tell.

somthing like dscompile.... etc

No. You can write a routine to compile jobs but there's no command line option.

Even the routine requires knowledge about the internal architecture of DataStage that is not in the public domain.

The safer answer is a plain NO.

There are some job compilation utilities available, including the multi-job compile that now ships with DataStage.

My requirement is to compile a job which is in aborted state and not all.
This work I want to do daily.
Like it is a job which would compile all aborted jobs.

Any routines already available/or macros in DS would be agreat help

Osh code is generated by the client, ie Designer, so no unix commands can help you to compile here. Remember you should use "force compile" to ensure the entire job is compiled.

Why is your "reset job" not working? Simply generating the same osh should have no benefit for you. I would urge you to revisit the job sequencer options.

As already noted, what you want to do is reset aborted jobs, not recompile them. Whatever you are using for Job Control should be able to handle that automatically. For example, Sequencer jobs can be set to 'Reset Then Run' or hand code can do something similar.

You could even accomplish this from a command line script by using the output of the dsjob command. The "-jobinfo" option will get you the current status and if the job is aborted you can use the "-run -mode RESET" option to get it reset.

The Multiple Job Compile tool allows you to be selective about which jobs to compile. For example, you can select only uncompiled jobs.

While it's not clear directly how to select aborted jobs in this tool, I think it's worth investigating.
