Hi All,

I have an small requirement to identify the list of the stages that used in a jobs across the project.

Thanks in advance

dsjob [ options ] -lstages projectname jobname

Wrap in a loop governed by dsjob [ options ] -ljobs projectname

No. But, then, I answered the question you asked.

The new question has an even easier answer. Select the Pivot stage in the Repository and perform a "where used" analysis (also known as an "impact" analysis). DataStage itself will give you your list.

IF you followed naming conventions for Jobs and Stages in a Project.You can filter Using grep command after finding the stages in a Job

@RAY

Please let me know "where used" analysis option in Datastage Repositary

Naming conventions? Ha! :wink:

Where Used was (and I assume still is) a toolbar icon that becomes active when an object is selected. It looks like a flask from a chemistry set from what I recall. Might even be a right-click option now for all I know. Really shouldn't be all that hard to find.

'Where used" is also one of the options available within Advanced Find (The magnifier-glass-icon on the tool-bar). There are diverse other options available there.

The flask icon was only in the Manager client, which no longer exists. These days it's ONLY a right click option.

For this particular question naming conventions are irrelevant - the usage is being reported for the stage type irrespective of how it's named. It can be called directly via right click on the stage type - it doesn't have to be called from within Advanced Find (though that works too).
