Job Export Command

benny.lbs · Post by **benny.lbs** » Mon May 23, 2005 1:38 am

Is there any alternative to export a single job rather than the whole project ?

I mean NOT to use DataStage Manager panel, is there any .exe file can be used ?

As I know, the following exe file can be used to export the whole project, but it isn't what I want.

C:\Program Files\Ascential\DataStage\dscmdexport.exe

usage: dscmdexport [/H][/U][/P][/O] project filepath [/V]

/H Host name.
/U User name.
/P Password.
/O Omit flag.
project Specifies the project name.
filepath Specifies the export file name.
/V Verbose. Default to false.

Note that project name must be specifed.

Hi,
I think the only other way would be to implement the DS API (i.e. in VB).
It will still remain a client side action.

IHTH,

From the details you have provided you are working on DataStage PX on unix and the command you have quoted is for Windows version.

For unix version of DaaSatge you have a command

Code: Select all

 dsjob -<options>

with export option.

I am not sure whether you can export a single job.

You can't.

Kinda makes you wonder how to get that DSX cutter utility no?

(some how a colegue made me think they did something similar, but maybe the individual dsx files were actually manually made at dev time?!

)

I'll have to check it again...

o, if it is true, it is so inconvenient, why Ascential can't think of this simple user requirement

Benny,

send a request for an enhancement in to Ascential via your support contract.

This has been a request for a while now, Ascential is fully aware that this would be a great additional to the functionality. But, as always, the squeaky wheel will get the grease and with the limited Engineering resources the enhancements always get the short end of the stick.

If enough of customer base asks for it then it will get done.
