RT_ Folders in the Datastage Project Dir on the Server

Hi All,

DS 8.7 on Windows 2008 R2

I see for every Parallel job we built, these corresponding folders are created in the relavant Project directory on the server

e.g. C:\IBM\InformationServer\Server\Projects\<Project_Name>

RT_LOGxx -- Log associated with the job run
RT_SCxx -- Source Code associated with the job run
RT_STATUSxx -- Final Status of the job
RT_CONFIGxx -- Configuration File info associated with the job

What are these 3 folders and what are these used for?

RT_QSxx -- Assuming QS means Quality Stage (all such folders are empty..we do not have any Quality Stage jobs/objects)

RT_BPxx -- Some are Empty some have 1 file
RT_BPxx.0 -- This has a .checksum file in all folders

Thanks,
Nirav

BP = BASIC Program from what I recall.

RT_BPxxx contains any BASIC programs from job number xxx, particularly from server Transformer stages, and BASIC Transformer stages from parallel jobs.

RT_BPxxx.O contains the equivalent compiled code from whatever is in RT_BPxxx.

RT_QSxxx as you correctly discern is used to contain QualityStage components for job number xxx.

Ah, right... forgot to include that. The .O is for "Object code", as noted the compiled BASIC code.
