Hi All,
Can anyone help me in exporting a number of dsx's from a particular project and server using a unix command.Is there any unix command which when triggered will export a dsx from a particular Datastage project and serevr.
There is one whcih works in winfows but the same doesn't work with Unix.
The windows version as per the Dtaagstage manual are:
dsexport.exe /H=hostname /U=username /P=password /O=omitflag
project pathname1
and
dscmdexport /H=hostname /U=username /P=password /O=omitflag project
pathname /V

neither of these two seems to work in unix.

No such beastie. Exports are client side only.

The commands you mentioned work in DS Client only(Windows).

There is no equivalent in Unix. Exporting/Importing as dsx file is available in DS Client only.

The reason that it works for you in Windows is because your host and client systems are on the same box.

But the export is client-side (Windows) only, so it won't work as you expect on a UNIX system.
