Two options.
1. Move the whole DSParam file from you project to the new project.
2. Director -- > Message Handlers --> Save.
And move this file to the new server to the respective folder.
Search the forum, it has been dealt previously.

DSParams is the file that holds all the parameters for the project. It will be under the project folder. You need to check if it exist for Job level Message handler. You may need to follow the other approach.

Inside your project folder, where you have &PH& and &COMO& folders, you will have another file by the name DSParams. Kumar is referring to that folder.

Open the Adminstrator, Go to the project tab, and select the project. Underneath it, you ll find Project Pathname. That is the directory that I was referring to.

Local run-time message handlers are stored in the RT_SCnnnn subdirectory in the project, where nnnn is the job number. I have no information ready to hand as to whether these are exported with the job, with the job executables and/or with the job source code. If it is not, copy the file called Local.msh into the RT_SCnnnn subdirectory for the job in the new project.

Named message handlers are server-wide so, if you're moving to a new project on the same server, you need to do nothing; the named message handlers are available automatically to all projects.

To migrate a named message handler called Fred to a different server machine, cd to the DataStage home directory ($DSHOME) then cd to ../MsgHandlers. In that directory you will find a file called Fred.msh, which you need to copy to the MsgHandlers directory on the other server.

DSParams file is not involved.
&PH& is not involved.
&COMO& is not involved.

Sorry some how DSParams got into my mind.

I never said &PH& and &COMO& folders are involved. I merely mentioned the names of these folders as they are present in the Project directory as well. Their mention was merely for directory mark (from land mark

)

Besides why would anyone want to move the whole DSParams file? The values in this file usually change from DEV to TEST to PROD. Examples would be the config files. You might have a 2 node in DEV and a 8 node in TEST and 16 in PROD.

Kim, As I mentioned, that was my mistake to mention DSPararms instead of Local.msh.

Hi all..
Sorry for the long silence.
@ray,
i found RT_snXX and i can see the message handler for that job , this is fine thnx a lot.

am little confused with this, when i copied the same file to the other project, how can one job gets that message handler , do we need to create a message handler with the same name..?

thnanks once again for the help.

The xxx part of the directory name RT_SCxxx is the job number from DS_JOBS. You must emplace Local.msh into the correct directory for that job.

Hi all,
my problem solved.
there is a folder name MsgHandler in the project directory , need to copy the relevent .msh file and paste in the another project, in the same MsgHandler folder. then the job which is exported with a message handler will allow u to compile and the message handler works fine.

thanks all of u for ur kind responces.
