how to envoke or start DataStage job using a perl script

[gooogle]

I created a job but it needs to be started only with a Perl script on a windows server. How do I do that. (Never used Perl)

Please help ...

Help you learn Perl? Not really what we're all about here. Are you familiar with dsjob which is the command line interface for DataStage jobs? Start there by reading the documentation or searching here, that is what any 'script', Perl or otherwise, would need to leverage to do this.

I dont need the whole script but I could not find much info on how to run a dsjob using perl thats why, I posted a message.

(This is not an exam or a test that u cant help each other. This forum is to give or get help no restrictions on the degree of help !)

We're here to help people solve DataStage problems and I gave you what you needed to know to get started. We are not here to teach people Perl, there are plenty of other websites out there dedicated to that. As I wrote, the things you need to do to run DataStage jobs from the command line - regardless of what you write the wrapper in - center around the dsjob command which is well documented both in the pdfs that ship with the product and here as well. One such ksh example:

Many others topics exist, you may even be able to find a Perl example, no idea as I've never looked for one. Do an exact search for dsjob and patiently search through the results. Or wait and see if someone is willing to post one for you... I've got no such thing in my toolbox to offer.
