What is the command to compile the job?

Hi,

Is it possible to compile the job from the command line? If Yes, then what is the command?

Thanks,
Hitman

SET DSCompileCmd=C:\Progra~1\Ascential\DataStage7.5.1\dscc.exe

%DSCompileCmd% /h %Host% /u %User% /p %Password% %Project% /j %%i /f >> %LogFileName%

This is straight out our script to compile jobs.

Will the same command work on unix/Linux machines? Currently i dont have access to the ds. I know its too basic to be asked, since i dont have the access to the server so I am a bit crippled.

THanks,
Hitman

It's a client command, so no. And there's no way to do this directly on the server that I am aware of.

what could possibly be an alternative solution for this???

Some kind of remote shell program on the UNIX machine to run the program on the client?

I am not really sure about this solution, because incase, if you dont have access to the remote machine this will fail. can we not build a script to compile the job?

Because there is no command on the server that can be used to compile a job.

Can I complicate this further??

I have a similar situation where I need to compile around 2000 jobs. We use a distributed environment, so there are no client installs on our individual development machines. Instead, we access the development tools through Citrix (v4 I think). Any ideas on that one since there is nothing from the server side (AIX Unix)?

As always, your help is appreciated!

Never mind! I found a way. If you are not married to the command line option, you can use DataStage Manager to do a Multi Job compile. It is under the Tools menu, then choose 'Run Multiple Job Compile'.

Works like a champ!
