Hi all ,

I am able to export entire project from window client's command prompt using the below dsexport command.

dsexport.exe /H=hostname /U=username /P=password /O=omitflag project pathname1

now could someone tell me how can I export job for a perticuler category not entire project .

regards,

You don't. The dsexport command exports the entire project.

I know of no way (apart from using the client) to export the contents of a category. However you may like to search DSXchange.

Because that capability is built into the GUI. Doesn't mean there has to be a command line equivalent... and there isn't.

Hi All,
Can you please help me with path where dsexport.exe can be found. We access datastage server through citrix, which is on an unix server. Therefore, there is no client installation on our systems. I have checked in server installation directory: /DataStageApp751_dac/Ascential/DataStage/DSEngine/bin

I could find dsjob.exe in this directory but not dsexport. Can you please help if I am missing upon something.

You need to look wherever the client is installed, not the server.

you can't directly access the server through citrix.

some where you click on designer icon to open it. on the same system searh for the exe file.

In case you use citrix server the client is installed on that server only. try searching that file there.
