Exporting Project

Hi All,

Is there a way take an export of a project ( I have about 400 jobs) from a command line ?

Is there a CM tool that can be configured with Datastage so that we can maintain version history?

Any help is appreciated.

If you're on version 8.1 you use the istool command, which is part of the Information Server Manager. Currently it does not have complete version management with check-out/check-in, but this is promised in a near future release.

In that case (not having version 8.1) you need to use the client-side command line dscmdexport or dsexport (search DSXchange for more information). Again there is no check-out/check-in capability, though some sites use the export file itself as "source code" in source code control systems.
