Hi,

I want to run jobs in UNIX Platform

So do lots of folks. The first thing you need is a DataStage server installed on that UNIX platform. Do you have that? Once you have that, investigate the dsjob command.

You are going to need to be a wee bit more explicit than that.

As suggested by previous posters, once you have server part installed on UNIX platform, you can run the DSJOBS command to run your job through unix (or you can run through director if needed).

If you want to pass parameters to jobs, either you can create the PROJECT LEVEL parameters through ADMINISTRATOR and then read those parameters in DSJOBS command

OR

You can store all your parameter in a text file in UNIX and read the file from the script that execute your job.

It's dsjob (lower case, no trailing "s").

Hi

I am trying with the following command
dsjob -run -jobstatus projectname jobname

but i am not able to run the job
wat jobstatus means.

the job which i am running doesnot contain any parameters.

and one more thing when the following command is used

int DSRunJob(
DSJOB(JobHandle,
int RunMode
);

whether this command is used in Job Control

You need to include "-mode NORMAL" in the command line as well.

Your command will not work.

try

Code: Select all

dsjob -run -mode NORMAL ric_dss_dev J0dsjob

-jobstatus waits for the job to complete, then returns an exit code derived from the job status.

No yar, this command is also not working

dsjob -run -mode NORMAL ric_dss_dev J0dsjob

this is the error
command not found

That means that the $DSHOME/bin directory is not in your environment's path; execute the `$DSHOME/bin/dsjob' command.

Make sure that the parent directory of dsjob is mentioned in the list of directory pathnames in your PATH environment variable.

You are getting that from what? You've never explained exactly how you are 'running' this command. A script? Bat file? Hand? Cron? Control-M? A solid gold Khama Sutra coffee pot or... a baby's arm holding an apple. (sorry)

ps. You haven't managed to run anything, let alone attempted to execute the dsjob command if your error is 'command not found'. And since you've hi-jacked this thread rather than start your own, we don't even know what Operating System or release of DataStage we're dealing with.
