Export of Datastage job from command prompt

Thripura · Post by **Thripura** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 6:47 am

I have used dsexport command to export the job but i am facing the following issue.

-bash: dsexport: command not found

Command used:

DsExport /H=<hostname> /U=dsadm /P="<password> /JOB=j<jobname> <project> export_file.dsx

Connecting to DS from Citirx .Please let me know if there is any issue.

A pathing issue, it would seem. Either fully path the command, add its home directory to your $PATH or 'cd' there first and then "dot slash" it.

execute below command on UNIX box

Code: Select all

. /opt/ISSuite/Source/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine/dsenv;

Please change the dsenv path as per your folder structure.

After that you should be able to use dsexport command for unix session.

Actually Nitkuar that isn't exactly correct. That path is O/S and machine dependent. To get the correct base path you should try:

Code: Select all

cat /.dshome

and then use that path to find dsenv.

Vesrion 8 needs a domain.

But first it needs to be found.

I have 'cd' to the path where dsenv file is present.From there i have executed the command.

PATH=$PATH:/opt/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine/dsenv export PATH

After this is have executed the DSEXPORT command and faced the issue.

Dsexport command not found.

Please provide me the shell script details to take export of individual jobs from a job list , routines and shared containers

That isn't what was suggested.

DsExport.exe is a Windows or client based tool. istool is a server based tool. What Craig is suggesting that you need to pick the right tool to use if you want to run on the DataStage server. If you want to run DsExport then run it from your PC client.

DsExport.exe tool it is not in Version 8.1 . In version 8.1 new istool for job export from Windows.

If you want to export from UNIX. Please use UVEXPORT command.

Thanks

Hi,

What would be for import? UVIMPORT?

DsExport.exe is on the client in 8.1. I use it all the time.

In your on-line help guide open up the Designer Client Guide to Chapter 11, page 187 and you will find that it uses the following syntax:

dsexport.exe /D domain /H hostname /U username /P password /JOB jobname /XML /EXT /EXEC /APPEND project pathname1
