OSH - hello world

[thompsonp]

Hello,

I am writing some PX jobs that will need calling from a script that will need to include some osh commands.

I am trying to get the osh commands to work on their own but even the example Hello World gives an error:

osh "echo 'hello, world'"

Ascential support think this might be a problem with the C++ compiler license rather than datastage.

Has anyone seen this before or got any ideas how I can find out where the problem lies.

It would help if I knew what command was being run by osh that gave rise to this error. Does osh even use the C++ compiler for such a simple osh script that is just wrapping UNIX script?

I expect it's the DataStage licence that can't be found as you are not running the job though the DataStage interface.

You can not really run Orchestrate on a machine WITHOUT a full DataStage installation. You could call Orchestrate directly ($APT_ORCHHOME/bin/osh), but no, you can not run it independently.

Sorry, this is most likely part of the licensing agreement your company signed with Ascential.
