DS7 vs DS8 and dsexport vs dscmdexport
We are migrating from DS7.51a to DS8.0.1 and have need to make some XML exports of jobs from both sides.
On the DS8 side, the dsexport seems to be doing what we need and exporting all related items for a job (buildops, table defs, etc.). However, the same command does not appear to give full output for DS7.
Were there changes to the export process between DS7 and DS8?

It is not that I am addicted to coffee, it's just that I need it to survive.
I've played with the commands on the 8.x side and found there that they can both pull an export of the entire project.chulett wrote:Can't speak to the 8.x side, but on earlier releases the dscmdexport exports an entire project whereas dsexport is for a single job.

it seems like the dsexport and dscmdexport are the same in 7.x and 8.0. Not talking about 8.1 as it has istools but comment made by both Craig and wfis are correct.
As Far as 8.0 is concerned:
dscmdexport exports entire project in dsx format.
while dsexport provides additional options for exporting like
/XML to export in xml format
/EXEC for expoting only executables (for dsx format only)
/APPEND for appending to an existing file.
/JOB to export specific job.
for details go through Designer Client guide.
I don't know why its not giving identical output in 7.5.1a

When i use the dsexport command to export an executable it says that the option "/EXEC" can only be used in conjunction with a "/JOB" option. Can you please provide the Syntax of the command that needs to be used to export the executable. Thanks in advace !!

all options for the command dsexport are not found in guide.
I see that the manual for DataStage Manager 7.5 says the command dsexport has the following options:ray.wurlod wrote:All syntax is to be found in the manuals.
You can also type the command alone or with a --HELP option (in most cases) to get a usage summary.
dsexport.exe /H hostname /U username /P password /O omitflag project
pathname1
/JOB is not available in 7.5x ?
I cant use the help flag as the designer is not installed over my PC we connect through an intermediate windows server.

7.5 server - /APPEND but only /EXEC
Hello,
DS 7.5 Server
I tried this command and it works
dsexport.exe /H=>host> /U=<user> /P=<password> /JOB=<job name> /Append /EXEC <project> <dsx file>
b
But if I take off /EXEC it says me that /APPEND should be used in conjunction with /EXEC.
It seem that in DS 7.5 Server we can append to a DSX only executable jobs.
