DSXchange

I have a parameter set called param_set .I have created value file file1 .In this parameter set i have 20 parameters .One of the parameter is START_TIME .In parameter set and value file its value is 2006/01/01 .I want this paramter START_TIME should be equal to the time on which batch runs .

I am referring this parameter START_TIME in a job as param_set.START_TIME .In order to populate batch start time i am calling the job like this :

dsjob - run -param param_set=file1 -param param_set.START_TIME=`date +'%Y/%m/%d'` project_name job_name .

I am able to run the job and its population START_TIME with current batch time.

But when i put this job in a sequence its populating old value ( 2006/01/01 ) only .I am not able to get current batch time in it .


i am using below command :

dsjob - run -param param_set=file1 -param param_set.START_TIME=`date +'%Y/%m/%d'` project_name seq_name .

Can anyone suggest where i am going wrong ?

Thank you all

Can you put an "echo" command into the script to ensure that the command line is working? Also, could your default date format be YYYY/DD/MM instead of the expected YYYY/MM/DD?

Thanks for your prompt reply

For an individual job , Its populating correctly .But when i am using sequence , its populating default value .

Arndw ,

I have small question . I am calling this job in a sequence .I have included param_set as parameter in job properties of sequence . when we double click the job activity in the job sequence , we will get mapping of job sequence parameters to job parameters . In that , what should be the value of param_set ? predefined or param_set or job sequence parameter ? will it make any difference ?? Please let me know if i am not clear in my question .

Thanks

It would seem that you've located the source of the problem. I'm not at a datastage client where I can check, but I seem to recall you use the local definition when using a parameter set value within a sequence to pass on the value.

Thank you all ...It got resolved

Ok, you should know the drill by now - what was the resolution?

Hi Nagarjuna,
Can you please provide us details on the resolution, as we are also facing the same problem

HI Sysnog,
If you read nagarjuna post carefully you will find the answer there if self.
Or
See the setting in the Job activity for your job.
