Hi all,

Please help me in finding a site to get an insight about the shell scripts which can be used in DataStage.
I am very much new to this shell scripts concept except the Basic Commands in UNIX.

Thank u
Narayana.

Hi,
I would suggest you to understand shell scripts, write few shell scripts, execute them outside DataStage.

Then try to execute them within DataStage.

Shell scripting can be a powerful tool in Datastage, but don't forget about the power of Datastage BASIC.

I'm sure there must be a million things that can both be done using either Datastage BASIC or Shell scripting. But becuase DatastageBASIC uses the internal Universe engine wouldn't that make for more efficient processing rather than traversing through to the O/S layer?
