DS Schedular

Can anyone tell me where can I view the Datastage Job scheduled tasks in UNIX.
Under which folder I can find?
Can it be hacked? ( as in modified to ones need)

Thanks

There is no 'DataStage Scheduler', it leverages existing O/S mechanisms. On UNIX, that would be 'cron' - specifically, the crontab of the user that did the scheduling is where you would find the information.

Hack at your own risk.

Hi DSguru2B,

DS use de crontab and at of your system. All the people can access using the same user can modified that and root of course.

Craig,
So when we Schedule a Job through the director, for this week, this day and this time; so where is this code generated at the back end and stored at. Just say if a person is using the Director to Schedule jobs.

On UNIX look at cron and crontabs.

Thanks Andrw.I am aware of where to find the Crontab.
But my question again re-phrased is that,
Where is all the code stored for the job that is scheduled using the director?

Thanks

The code for jobs resides in the project directory, spread across several files. Whether the job is scheduled or not makes no difference. The scheduling information for a job is stored in the crontab file on your system. The scheduler will use dsjob to start the datastage job at the given time with the defined parameters and values.

Thanks. Got understood. I was assuming that there will be seperate instances using the director and using the crontab at unix.
