Shell script through before job subroutine

[austin_316]

hi,
i have a shell script which has the code like this

FATAL=0
SUCCESS=1
SOURCEFILAPATH=$1
FILENAME=$2

if test -w $SOURCEFILEPATH/$FILENAME
then
echo "$FILENAME HAS BEEN RECEIVED "
else
echo "$FILENAME IS NOT PRESENT IN THE PATH "
exit $FATAL
fi


The file text1.txt is present under the path /home/sourcefile
when i execute this shell script from Sequence Job using a ExecuteCommand stage like this "sh /home/script/checkfile.sh /home/sourcefile text1.txt" it is working fine and is giving the output "text1.txt HAS BEEN RECEIVED"
But when i call the shell script from my beforejob subroutine in this way
"Call DSExecute("UNIX","sh ":ScriptDIR:"/FCA_BAND_FILECOUNT_CHK.sh ":"/home/sourcefile text1.txt >":LogDIR:"/LogFile.txt",Output,SystemReturnCode)"

then in the lofile LogFile.txt iam getting the statement as "text1.txt IS NOT PRESENT IN THE PATH"

please help me in this.

When you say Before job subroutin, I beleive, you calling in the General tab of Job paramter. If thats the case, You can specify the follwing in the "ExecSH"
"sh /home/script/checkfile.sh /home/sourcefile text1.txt"

Just a small note.

In the script, the starting "fi" is missing so I doubt if the script will work correctly.

Stick some echo commands into the script to determine what the received command line arguments are. These can be removed or crippled once your debugging session is done.

Check the permissions for the file and directory.

Maybe you are running datastage with different user and it cannot see the file.
