Hi All,

Is there a way of comaparing jobs if we import the jobs from suppose dev environment to Prod environment, Informtica 8 gives that option, is there something equivalent in DataStage 8.

Thanks in advance.

Yes. If you right click on the job name you will get a menu from which you can choose a Compare tool and compare against another job.

This is new functionality in version 8.

Thanks for the reply. Will it compare against another job or the same job but in the different project.

You're on version 8. My current client isn't. You research it and post your findings.

Spent few hours on comparing many jobs on version 8 the other day and since I referred to this post before it, I thought of adding something here for the sake of the others.

Comparison of the jobs is very much possible within and across different projects (even on different servers). It takes a bit of time but it is an amazing feature to have. It gives you a list of the differences, if there are any, in a very clear textual format.

Regards,

Novak

diffapicmdline.exe is the command line option for the same if you want to automate it in a batch script.

From the client menu, it's "Cross Project compare".
