DataStage on Windows installs it's own specialized TELNET server that directs you straight into the DataStage environment. You will either need to use a "normal" telnet server or open up a DOS windows/client using another method.

Once you get the normal DOS prompt you can execute the "dsjob" program with the appropriate options.

If you have no other alternative, you can answer "UV" to the VOC question and then you will get the ">" prompt from the TCL environment of DataStage; you can then enter the command "SH" to bring you to a DOS shell so that you can do the "dsjob" call; then you will need to "exit" from the command window and "QUIT" out of TCL to terminate the telnet session.

I don't quite understand. If you telnet to the Windows server, it will prompt you for the name of the account to connect to. If you call up the uvsh or dssh program from a command window while your current working directory is not in a valid account you will get a list of account creation options - but you don't want to do this as it will create a host of files in the directory and it won't be a valid DataStage account.

Please give the name of a valid DataStage project or "UV" when asked for the account.

Question is not in detail.
what i guess is chose option 1. or give the datastage installed drive.
when > prompt comes write DOS.
you will get a DOS prompt.

In option (1) enter "DOS" to get a dos cmd shell, then you can run the "dsjob" command with the options you require.

In option(2) you are attempting to create a DataStage account (not a project) in D:\ and if you choose one of the 5 it will create a number of files that you really don't want! Please don't use this option. If you have used it you can delete the files and directories that were created (VOC,D_VOC,VOCLIB,D_VOCLIB,&SAVEDLISTS& and perhaps some more, I can't recall which ones are put into an empty account)

I did what you said but it say dsjob is not a internal or external command

also when i did ls i got the voc and voclib which i guess is required for dsjob command

the "dsjob" command is on your Windows server system - but you haven't added it to your path - just do a search of your server to find the dsjob.exe (you will need to specify a number of command line options to start a job, but they are listed when you call up "dsjob" and are also described in your documentation).

The VOC and other files are part of your DataStage project and should NOT be deleted! Only if you have those files on your D:\ drive as part of an earlier failed attempt from your execution path (2) should they be removed.

go to the folder containing dsjob.exe. Then run it with proper parameter arguments.
Or you can add the path of "dsjob.exe" to your environment path and run from any location.
