to delete the datafile and descriptor file belongs to a dataset which is in a unix server

[nitkuar]

In datastage 8x version, we can delete datasets(descriptor and their corresponding data files) using orchadmin del <dataset_name> ...not sure about version 7x...but u can give a shot...

Thanks

Orchadmin is a command line utility provided by datastage to research on data sets.

search for the Orchadmin commadns to delete the dataset.

other wise you can delete the dataset from dstaset management utility also, which you can find in Datastage designer tool-->dataset management utility.

It's there in 7.x as well. And it's "you", not "u" please.

use the below command
orchadmin rm "datastet.ds"

Amazed that no-one mentioned the Data Set Management utility available from the Tools menu in Designer client. Simply select the Data Set and click the Delete tool.

The unix rm utility cannot be used to delete the datasets. The orchadmin delete or rm command should be used to delete one or more persistent data sets.

Instead of "can not", I would use "should not". rm command can be used if you understand what you need to delete and from where. However I won't suggest any one to use that as there are more sophesticated and cleaner utilities/tools to do the same like orchadmin and dataset management utility.
