Environment variable strange behavior

[dnsjain]

In my batch job, once processing is complete for the file, I compress the file (using gzip) and move the file to archive directory.

This functionality works fine, if I run the job manually from director. If I let the job run through scheduler, it give me error when it tries to run gzip. It returns [SH: gzip: not found.].

I am scheduling the job using the same user id and passing the excatly same parameters, what I am passing when I run manually. I am running gzip command from DSExecute.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Looks to me that you need to add the directory where the gzip executable resides to the PATH environment variable in $DSHOME/dsenv.

The dsenv file is used by every DataStage process to initialize its environment.
