Unix question

Post by **admin** » Wed Nov 08, 2000 6:10 pm

Can anyone tell me what the command would be at the Unix prompt to run a datastage job, outside of Director?

We need to use a thirdparty scheduler for our DataStage jobs.

Thanks, Trish Adams

Funny, I dont have this directory (assuming that uvhome is replaced by the directory where datastage is installed). Do you know if this is part of the unix installation?

Thx, Trish

It is the "dsjob" command in the $uvhome/bin directory. Just enter it without parameters and youll get a list of all the options, or check the .pdf documentation for details.

The command is DSJOB and the syntax is

dsjob -run
[ -mode [ NORMAL | RESET | VAL I DATE ] ]
[ -param name=value ]
[ -warn n ]
[ -rows n ]
[ -wait ]
[ -stop ]
[ -jobstatus]
[-userstatus]

This is described in the DataStage online document called servjdev.pdf which is installed in the DataStage client directory with R4+. If I remember correctly, it was in the UniVerse documentation (either the BASIC or the REF
manual) prior to R4.

Mike.

Trish,

the directory needs to be there, without it DS wont run. do a cat /.uvhome to get the path and then to the sub-directory bin.

Is DataStage installed on your Unix machine or is it on an NT server? We have DataStage installed on NT and our universe account is on Unix.
