Execute dsjob command from client machine

prasad111 · Post by **prasad111** » Wed Jan 21, 2009 11:46 am

Hi,

The server is UNIX and I am able to execute dsimport and dsexport from client machine. I wanted to list the jobs in a project using dsjob command from client machine.
I was referring to the below link
viewtopic.php?t=124608&highlight=dsjob we can execute dsjob command

I tried to execute the below command,

Code: Select all

dsjob -server <server_name> -user <user_name> -password <password> -lprojects

A error message pop-up Datastage Server Command Line Interface has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Can I execut the dsjob command in 7.5.1A? If yes please suggest what could be the issue....

Your replies are highly appreciated

Thanks & Regards
Prasad

That syntax looks fine and *should* work just fine. Can others execute this command? What O/S and patch level is your PC?

Operating system is Microsoft Windows XP profesional with Service Pack 3

Hi kittu.raja,

Have you changed anything with the PATH variables?

I didn't mean anybody anybody, but rather anyone else who works with prasad111.

And no, you shouldn't need to worry about PATH or any other variables, it should just work even with SP3 installed. First I'd suggest trying to reinstall the client software, perhaps something is corrupt on your machine.

I have installed Version 7.5.1A, 8.0.1 and 8.1 in my machine. I use multi-client manager to switch between these versions.

I checked with other colleagues who has the same settings as above could not execute the dsjob command. The person who has installed only 7.5.1A can execute the dsjob command successfully.

I guess the problem happens whenever we switch between the Multi-client manager......I am not sure reinstall would resolve the problem....

Sounds to me like you need to ensure you are running the dsjob command from the version you are currently "switched to".

Yes, I am executing the command after switching it to 7.5.1A

OK, but are you certain the 'dsjob' being executed is the one that lives inside the 7.5.1a directory structure?

prasad111 · Post by **prasad111** » Thu Jan 22, 2009 12:02 pm

Yes I have executed from the right folder

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\Ascential\DataStage7.5.1>dsjob -server <server_name> -user <user_name> -password <password> -lprojects

I am able to execute the dsexport from the same folder successfully.

Hmmm... then it seems your fate is firmly in the hands of your support provider.

Thanks for the quick responses. I will check with the support team.

Prasad,

I have installed Version 7.5.1A, 8.0.1 and 8.1 in my machine. I use multi-client manager to switch between these versions.

How do you have 8.0.1 and 8.1 on the same environment? It is not possible at all !!

Why don't you uninstall 8.1 (i believe that you are working with 8.1) and see whether dsjob command of 7.5.x works fine?

They're just talking about the client software and for multiple versions of that all you should need to do is install them to different directories. And use the MCM to switch between them.

No Craig... It is not possible to have 8.0.1 and 8.1 on same client machine or on same server. This is not my message but IBM's message.
