DataStage Telnet Service

Hello Forum,

Is the DataStage Telnet Service simply an alternate interface to the command interface presented in the Administrator Client GUI?

Will disabling cause any adverse affects to the Engine or Client GUIs?

There's no impact by setting the service to Manual and stopping it. You really want to leave this service enabled because you will need to release locks and clear up any internal repository glitches that may occur and this interface provides the most ability to do so.

Thank you for your response.

Are you saying that there is some repository maintenance functionality that can be performed from the telnet service that cannot be done from Administrator GUI command interface?

Also, is there a document that describes this command interface? The only information I could find is by typing 'HELP'.

Thanks,

Greg

Some hashed file maintenance, lock management (see DS.TOOLS), etc.

There's no official DS documentation on the DS command line. There's a goldmine here, however.
