Whats happened with Hashed Files..

Post by mauherga »

Hi,

Does any one know what's happened with Hashed Files if the only parent job who use it is deleted? Does the hashed files deleted too? I have to delete then from unix before I delete the parent job?

The "Chek integrity of job files" option in DS.TOOLS can help to delete this hashed files?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Mauherga,

The hashed file will still exist even though you delete the job that created it.

No. The "Check Integrity of Job Files" does not help you in deleting the hashed files.

There are a lot of posts covering the deletion of hashed files. Use the search facility.

To start with, you can use this LINK

Thanks,
Naveen.

Hashed files are seperate files the are created via the DS application. It has no effect if the job is deleted or changed. The next run of the job can variate the content of the file.
Its just like saying if I delete a job, will the target table be deleted :wink:
