APT_CONFIG_FILE error

[kd813]

I am using this command to pass the APT_CONFIG_FILE parameter using dsjob
$DSPATH/dsjob -param '$APT_CONFIG_FILE=$APT_CONFIG_FILE' $PROJPM $Jobname

When i pass the path istead of $APT_CONFIG_FILE in the command the job runs succseeflle but whn i pass it as paramenter as in the above command its giving me the following error
"main_program: ##$APT_CONFIG_FILE=$APT_CONFIG_FILE does not exist or is not a file or symbolic link to one.
##Fatal Error: Cannot continue without a configuration file."

so it is lloking for exact value.
not sure if defining $APT_CONFIG_FILE in your user profile will help.

no its not.. as i have to change the value of the parameter at the run time
thats why i need to send it as parameter only

Single quote characters (hard quotes) are meaningful to the shell. Among other things, they prevent resolution of environment variable characters and expansion of wildcards. Lose the hard quotes.

Code: Select all

-param $APT_CONFIG_FILE=${APT_CONFIG_FILE}

So shall I replace the single quotes with double quotes or shall I removethem completely?

You may try using this:
$DSPATH/dsjob -param "\$APT_CONFIG_FILE"="${APT_CONFIG_FILE}" $PROJPM $Jobname
