DSXchange

Hi,

I am running the following dsjob command through a script -

/opt/ibm/IS/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine/bin/dsjob -domain <dom> -user <usernm> -password <pwd> -server <server> -ljobs <projnm>

And on manually running the script, its giving output but when I am scheduling the script, it is not giving output.

Please give suggestions on this issue.

I think you should redirect output to a file yourself

So... by 'crontab' I'm guessing you don't mean the Director client and if so, why not? You need a wrapper script for dsjob to set up the environment properly, it generally won't run well all on its own.

Did you source dsenv before executing the dsjob command?

... something that would require a wrapper script to accomplish.

Actually I am directing the output of dsjob to a file.

I am able to do this when I run the script from $ prompt

$ my_script.sh

It works fine

Schedule it thru cron

00 02 * * * /path/to/script/my_script.sh

not working properly.

I am doing this thru unix crontab and not thru datastage director.

I didnt get you Paul

What exactly does your script do... besides run the job, of course.

For /opt/ibm/IS/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine/bin/dsjob to work, you need to source your dsenv file.

Was just asking if you did that in your script before the dsjob was attempted.

@Craig : My script makes a list of jobs in a project.

@Paul : No I did not source the dsenv file. I never scheduled a script (having dsjob dssh etc) in cron before so I didnt know about that.

Thank you guys... now its working fine ...

Solution: Sourced the dsenv file from dshome i.e. "/opt/ibm/IS/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine"

So... do you understand what that does and why it fixed things for you?
