dsjob -run -param file

[ds_is_fun]

Im trying to run my job from command line through the command "dsjob"
1.I have created my job params file under location-
IBM/InformationSerer/Server/DSEngine/dsparams1.txt'
2. Im trying to run it with the syntax -
dsjob -run -mode NORMAL -param file='IBM/InformationSerer/Server/DSEngine/dsparams1.txt' GlobalSales_DEV CeilTest

Im running into error-
Error -3 getting information for parameter 'file'

Status code = -3 DSJE_BADPARAM

Any help with the correct syntax is appreciated.
Thanks!

Your job does not have a job parameter called "file". This is what is generating the error when you use this syntax, which is referring to a job parameter called "file".

It takes a lot of code to translate a file into parmeter values. Trust me. It is not that easy.

You want to run the job through command line, the command you are using is perfect but the problem is syntax.
When you give the command 'dsjob -run' the following error occurs:
Invalid arguments: dsjob -run
[-mode <NORMAL | RESET | VALIDATE>]
[-param <name>=<value>]
[-warn <n>]
[-rows <n>]
[-wait]
[-opmetadata <TRUE | FALSE>]
[-disableprjhandler]
[-disablejobhandler]
[-jobstatus]
[-userstatus]
[-local]
[-useid]
<project> <job|jobid>

Status code = -9999 DSJE_DSJOB_ERROR

The commands mention in the square bracket ([) are optional,while the other one's are compulsary, so inorder to run the job you have to use the following command..and the job will run....

dsjob -run PROJECT_NAME JOB_NAME

eg: dsjob -run DS_dev Customer_status_job

To me, it looks to be as Kim mentioned - a bunch of parameter values in a file and an attempt to simply pass the filename to the job in the hope that somehow it will magically know what to do with them all. The syntax used was perfectly valid, it just was saying that there is no parameter who's name is 'file' in the job being run.

As our good friend notes, it ain't that easy.

Does'nt version 8 have that capability of providing the parameter file?

[chulett]

Parameter set yes, parameter file no.

[DSguru2B]

O yea, that bugger is called a parameter set. Thanks Craig

What kind of information that you have in your dsparams1.txt file?

Step 1: I first successfully listed the projects on our server.
This required setting up a /tmp/serv.txt file.
$ cd /IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine
$ . ./dsenv
$ cd bin
$ ./dsjob -file /tmp/serv.txt ANTARES:9080 AURIGA:31801 -lprojects

Where the /tmp/serv.txt file contains:
ANTARES:9080,AURIGA:31801,dsadm,***pwd**
~
"serv.txt" [Read only] 1 line, 43 characters
(Domain,Server,UID,PWD)

Step 2: I then successfully executed a job then a sequence using dsjob.
Note: This required setting up a /tmp/serv.txt file (done in step 1).
$ cd /IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine
$ . ./dsenv
$ cd bin
$ ./dsjob -file /tmp/serv.txt ANTARES:9080 AURIGA:31801 -run -wait -mode NORMAL -warn 0 HMKSandboxv801 rpcE1XA570

./dsjob -file /tmp/serv.txt ANTARES:9080 AURIGA:31801 -run -wait -mode NORMAL -warn 0 HMKSandboxv801 rpcE1XA570_EtlrunTest

So, Pete... is your "we" the same "we" as the "ds_is_fun" we that started all this?

[cundyp]

I'm not sure if i responded where i shouldn't have but it looked like one of the issues was the dsjob -file $File etc command. I had a case opened with IBM on this an thought it applied to this posting and also posted my results previously on DSXchange.

I'm not really sure what you were trying to tell me??

[chulett]

Sometimes we get other people on the same team jumping in and continuing a thread, wasn't sure if that was what was going on here. No worries.

Actually, it wasn't an issue with the "-file" option for dsjob. If you look at the original post, you'll see it was a "-param" option for a parameter named "file" that was the issue.

Here is the original post:

2. Im trying to run it with the syntax -
dsjob -run -mode NORMAL -param file='IBM/InformationSerer/Server/DSEngine/dsparams1.txt' GlobalSales_DEV CeilTest

Response:
The IIS 8.0.1 syntax is:
dsjob -file domain server -run -warn -mode project jobname

file = serv.txt containing: domain,server, userid, password

I was just trying to clerify the point that his dsjob -run won't cut it in IIS 8.0.1

[chulett]

No, the specific problem here is with the "-param" option, his syntax is technically fine.

dsjob -run -mode NORMAL -param file='IBM/InformationSerer/Server/DSEngine/dsparams1.txt' GlobalSales_DEV CeilTest

Error -3 getting information for parameter 'file'

Status code = -3 DSJE_BADPARAM

It found the job, interrogated it for parameters and didn't find one named "file" so threw the error noted above.
