Hi All,

My requirement is - export all the jobs by folder wise and remove the passwords which are hard coded in the dsx. all should be done in command mode.

I exported the folder with istool export command, but it's not a readable format to remove the passwords in the dsx

Could you please advise.

Thanks in advace..

The istool command does not produce a dsx file. It produces a zipped file with a .isx extension. Inside you will find a manifest, some folders and XML documents with varying extensions (e.g. .pjb). You can certainly try unzipping the isx file and working with the XML.

The fact that you even expect to find hard-coded passwords inside a dsx file is a symptom of some bad application architecture.

Again, dsx and isx files are not the same. If your requirement is dsx, then you must export from the client tier (Windows only). There is a dscmdexport.exe command line you can use on the client to create a dsx file. I don't think it allows for category-wise exports.

If you need further help, you will need to be clear which tool and file format you need help with.

I'm curious what this means. Do you consider a dsx file to be a "readable format" or do you mean you are required to transform it in some manner to make it "readable"?
