DSXchange

Hi,

I am running the following from a datastage sequence (because i don't have access on dsadm) -

/opt/app/ibm/InformationServer/V87/Server/DSEngine/bin/dsjob -run -mode NORMAL -param -warn 0 -rows 0 -wait -jobstatus /opt/app/ivrr/shared/projects/xxx_dev1 JobNightly_SubSeq2

it fails with the following error -

Reply=255
Output from command ====>
Invalid arguments: dsjob -run
[-mode <NORMAL | RESET | RESTART | VALIDATE>]

Status code = -9999 DSJE_DSJOB_ERROR
can somebody please help? what is wrong here? iam new to unix.

[-param <name>=<value>]

Either pass a name/value pair or don't include the "-param" if you don't need to pass a parameter. Also, use either -wait or -jobstatus, not both.

if i don't include -param .. get the same error

Options -wait and -jobstatus are mutually exclusive, you can have one or the other or neither, not both.

But using both doesn't cause an error from what I recall, just confusion. Can you post the current version of your dsjob command and the latest error you are getting?

Try using a project name rather than a project pathname.

D'oh! Didn't notice that.

I removed the path from the project name and run the following -
/opt/app/ibm/InformationServer/V87/Server/DSEngine/bin/dsjob -run -mode NORMAL -warn 0 -rows 0 xxx_dev1 JobNightly_Dynamic_Lookups

getting the following error -

Output from command ====>
ERROR: Failed to open project

Now you need to add the credentials to access the project - userid, password, domain.

If i run this from command line under dsadm .. do i still need to provide the credentials. I guess the credentials would be of dsadm?

You need to provide the credentials of whichever userid you want the job to run under.
