Not sure what kind of answer you are expecting (or why the anger) but since we're talking about a dsx export file... you do it using a text editor.

Yes! I am trying in text editor. but it`s not working.Please help me.

What's "not working" about it? Seems to me you'd need to post snippets of the dsx in question, the section that includes that information before anyone could provide specific help. Before and after examples (to show what change you made) would be best and then explain what happened after you imported it.

I have added short description for the parallel jobs in dsx but after importing the dxs it`s not showing in the jobs. like

Code: Select all

" BEGIN DSRECORD
      Identifier "V0S20"
      OLEType "CJSJobActivity"
      Readonly "0"
      Name "AaiGdbAssetds"
      NextID "2"
      OutputPins "V0S20P1"
      JobType "0"
      ExecutionType "1"
      Jobname "AaiGdbAssetds"
      ParameterValues "CParamValues"
      BEGIN DSSUBRECORD
         Name "AaiToGdb"
      Description "Job Deployed Date: 10/25/2015"
         ValueType "4"
         DisplayValue "AaiToGdb"
      END DSSUBRECORD"

The "Description" line must be added under the job name, on the DSRECORD token, not on the DSSUBRECORD.

The amount of time you've wasted trying to figure out an "automatic" solution you could have manually edited the jobs directly.

Sir,
I have to change 400+ jobs.

Why don't you just add descriptions to one job, export it and then confirm the location of short and long description in dsx to modify?

Hmmm... another of those silly things that I thought would go without saying and would have already been done. If you're not sure what something should look like in a dsx, make the change in a job (or create a test job to futz with) and then export it.

Paid support is probably a better channel for your level of patience.

So about half a day all up, assuming you can do two per minute (not difficult).
