Hi ALL,

I got to take DS Export from UNIX.
I found one utitlity called dsexport which I am able to use on windows.
But I want to do the same on UNIX.

Could anybody please let me know how can I do this, also where this utility can be found in UNIX? (as I was not able to find this utitlity on my UNIX server)

Thanks,
Manish

Hello Manish,

the export facilities are all windows and client-based. There is no dsexport available on the UNIX server side. You would need to trigger the export on the client through the manager or the command line and then copy the resulting .DSX export to UNIX if you need the file(s) there.

Hi Arnd,
I am new to datastage. I do not know whether I am right or wrong. Sorry, if I make a mistake. I want to know is it possible to do this by FTP or not.

The export needs to be done on the client. If you have ftp installed you can FTP the .dsx export file wherever you wish; but I'm not quite sure what you mean by doing it with FTP?
