DSXchange

Although the dscmdexport command provides a means to export an entire project, I would like to selectively export components. Is there a facility within DataStage that will allow me to do this without using the GUI found in Manager?

Thanks!

Not that I am aware of.

DSExport command can also export individual jobs.

Thanks

Care to share the exact command line syntax for how you accomplished this?

Syntax is as follows:

DSExport /U=%UserName% /P=%Password% /H=%Host% /JOB=JobName %Project% FileName

Thanks

Very interesting.

I haven't found this documented anywhere but it works (on Windows anyway)!

Doesn't work for dscmdexport only dsexport.

Windows as in on the client or a Windows Server install only?

DataStage 7.5 running on Windows!

And I'm running the client from a Windows machine as well (in fact the same machine).

Looks like this is a Client command and may only work if the Server is running on the same machine. I'll have to experiment a little more with this from the office tomorrow. Too many other fish to fry tonight.

Please let us know how you go!

HI,

Yes the same works in PX (Sever in Unix and Clinet in Wondows) as well

This Command will work on windows Client. We dont require the Server to be installed. I am able to export the jobs from the server which is in different location.

The problem with this command is , if we used any shared conatiners in the job, then it will import the code for shared containers as well. But if we export from Manager we wont get this, unless we check it expicitly.

And we wont get the job executables if we export the jobs from command line.
Please refer Here for More Information.

This is client command. DataStage does not need to be on windows.
This works even if DataStage server is in unix. But we need to run this command from client machine.

Thanks

This command seems to work well for what I'm trying to accomplish. I do, however, have one more question...

Is there any way I can specify more than one job to be exported using this command? Ideally, I'd like to specify a few jobs to be exported into a single dsx file.

Thanks again,

Peter

Using the same command answer is NO. but you can accomplish what you want with the help of small batch file.

Thanks
