Hi,

i am in need of unix command which can give us all job names and annotation in the job of a category.
say i have three job in the folder /test/prjct1
j1ext
j2tfm
j3load

if i pass argument to unix command as /test/prjct1 , i should get job names and annotation given in that job.

Thx
Sudhir

Do you mind if your UNIX command invokes a database query? Because you are going to need a database query to determine the category contents.

Usually categories are delimited by backslash, so you might need either to specify the argument with backslashes or, within your script, translate forward slashes to backslashes. For example

Code: Select all

category=$1
catpath=`echo $category | tr \/ \\`

The command has to be executed while attached to a project directory. Therefore you need to provide the name of a project or, preferably, the pathname of the project directory as an additional command line argument.

Code: Select all

projectdir=$2
cd $projectdir

If the DSEngine bin directory is not in your PATH then you will need the full pathname of the dssh executable. The query is probably the easiest part.

Code: Select all

export DSHOME=`cat /.dshome`
${DSHOME}/bin/dssh "SELECT NAME FMT '60L' FROM DS_JOBS WHERE CATEGORY = '$catpath';"

Error and argument checking has been omitted for clarity.

a batch file with the below can help to get just the Job name in the category...
but i am sure the experts gave you the way to get the annotation given in that job

Code: Select all

     @echo off 
    
    SETLOCAL 

    SET Host= 
    SET /p Host=Type host and press Enter: 

    SET User= 
    SET /p User=Type User and press Enter: 
  
    SET PW= 
    SET /p PW=Type Password and press Enter: 

    SET project= 
    SET /p project=Type Project Name and press Enter: 

    SET folder= 
    SET /p folder=Type folder path and press Enter: 

    SET DsSearch=C:\Progra~1\Ascential\DataStage7.5.2\dssearch.exe 
    SET JobList=JobList.txt 
      
    %DsSearch% -server %Host% -user %User% -password %PW% -ljobs -matches -sub -c %folder% %project% >> %JobList% 

    ENDLOCAL

The command bellow doesnt work.

%DsSearch% -server %Host% -user %User% -password %PW% -ljobs -matches -sub -c %folder% %project% >> %JobList%

If a cut the part: "-matches -sub -c %folder%" it works fine.

It says:
"Valid primary command options are: -ljobs
Status code = -9999 DSJE_DSSEARCH_ERROR"

Any idea?

Tks!
