How to determine if a job parameter is not used?

Post by ecote »

Hi,

I'm just wondering if there is a way to determine easily if a parameter is not used in a job? I'm reviewing some jobs and I find the process tidious...

Thanks

By "not used", I'm assuming you mean that it is defined as a parameter in the job but you want to know if the job actually leverages / references it, yes?

I'm not sure there is any 'official' way to do this other than manually, which has got to be painful. One could probably cobble something together that goes through a dsx file to do this, maybe someone has already done something like this. Phil perhaps? Kim?

You might also check here to see if Chuck has anything you could use or modify.
