DSXchange

Hi All,

I have a Unix script which calls a data stage job.
While executing the script from Datastage 7.5 server it runs fine. But the same script while executing from V8 server it's giving error " bash: dsjob: command not found " . Any help would be appreciated.



Below is the script
----------------------

dshome=`cat /.dshome`;export dshome
PATH=$PATH:$dshome/lib; export PATH
. $dshome/dsenv

PROJECT=P_Dev
JOB=test_job

RunInfo=`dsjob -run -jobstatus $PROJECT $JOB 2>&1`
echo $RunInfo



Thanks,

1) cd $DSHome/bin

PROJECT=P_Dev
JOB=test_job

RunInfo=`dsjob -run -jobstatus $PROJECT $JOB 2>&1`
echo $RunInfo

Now try it I hope the above code will work

Hi Vamsi,

Sorry, it didn't work. I am getting the same error.

I tried with this:

cd $DSHome/bin

PROJECT=P_Dev
JOB=test_job

RunInfo=`dsjob -run -jobstatus $PROJECT $JOB 2>&1`
echo $RunInfo


Thanks,
Sjordery.

This is bog standard command line stuff and I'm sure an exact search here for "command not found" will turn up all of the lectures on the subject. It's a pity that people nowadays are so entrenched in a GUI mouse-driven world that simple stuff like this trips them up. Makes old farts like me sad.

UNIX is a little pickier about how it finds commands than DOS is. You always need to tell it where your command lives. You do this using three different mechanisms:

1) You include the directory where it lives in your $PATH environment variable, then it can find it 'automatically'.
2) Use a relative path to tell it where it lives. This means the path is relative to where you are and starts with a dot which stands for your "current directory".
3) Use a full path to tell it where it lives. This means it doesn't matter where you are, just it, and the path starts with a forward slash i.e. "from root".

An example of #2 from the bin directory: RunInfo=`./dsjob xxxx
An example of #2 from $DSHome: RunInfo=`./bin/dsjob xxxx

An example of #3: RunInfo=`/etl/DataStage/DSEngine/bin/dsjob xxxx

NOTE: completely made up full path shown as an example only, if you want to see what yours is do the same thing your script is doing:

Just to clear up a question or two that came to my mind:

1) Are the IS tiers installed on a single server or on separate servers?
2) If on separate servers, which one are you running the script on?

Regards,

Thanks Chullet, Below one worked.

------------------------------------------------

dshome=`cat /.dshome`;export dshome
PATH=$PATH:$dshome/lib; export PATH
. $dshome/dsenv

PROJECT=P_Dev
JOB=test_job

RunInfo=`/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine/bin/dsjob -run -jobstatus $PROJECT $JOB 2>&1`
echo $RunInfo

can you add to your path env variable ?

The library path env variable ( Depending on your Unix 'flavor' ) SHLIB_PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH should include your It seems your lib folder is in the path , which is not recommended
