To delete dataset file (.ds)

mingzhang · Post by **mingzhang** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 1:42 pm

I know the dataset file(.ds) can be deleted via "Data Set Management" Tool.
Is there other way to delete it? (eg. using command line?...) Or any way we can put the deletion into the Job Sequence?

Thanks

Yes, use "orchadmin" from the command line.

I got it. Just make it clear:
orchadmin delete <dsname>

And there are also other useful commands to manage the dataset files. (like copy ...)

Thank you so much.

orchadmin rm <dataset name>

orchadmin rm <dataset name>.ds

is the correct syntax.

The orchadmin command requires the pathname of the Data Set control file as its argument. This (typically) is the Data Set name followed by a ".ds" suffix.

Thanks.

But it seems all the following commands are working in Datastage 8.0.1:
orchadmin delete
orchadmin del
orchadmin rm
