Hi ALL,

Can you please give the syntax for calling datastage jobs from unix shell scripting (or) through windows command prompt.

Use dsjob which is fully documented in either of the two Developer's Guide pdfs in the Command Line Interface chapter.

Make sure you run dsjob command from Datastage installation directory.

You need to either fully path it, add the DataStage "bin" directory to your PATH or (as noted) run it from where it lives.

Hi chulet,

I have included the path
"C:\IBM\InformationServer\Server\PXEngine\bin" in the environmental variable of $PATH in the datastage administrator.
and i am trying to call datastage job from this directory through windows command prompt,
still the dsjob command is not recognising.

Please help me if anybody knows.

That would be the wrong place to add it, you need to add it via Windows itself. My Computer <right click> Properties, then look for 'Environment Variables'.

Hi chulet,

Sorry for consuming your time.
I have added this path "C:\IBM\InformationServer\Server\PXEngine\bin", in the system variable of 'path' .
In windows environmental variables.
Still the dsjob command is not recognising!
Does i need to change my path?

Have you verified that 'dsjob' does indeed live in that directory? If correct, I believe you need to reboot before changes to $PATH are recognized, try that please if you can.

Given that you originally marked your operating system type as UNIX, dare I suggest that there is some confusion here?

Pfffttt... well, for sure I am now.

Didn't even notice the UNIX notation on the first post after comments like:

I am to trying call datastage job from windows command prompt by using command "dsjob -run ".

I have added this path "C:\IBM\InformationServer\Server\PXEngine\bin", in the system variable of 'path' in windows environmental variables.

So... are you trying to do this from your DataStage server and is that server installed on a Windows or UNIX box? Or are you trying to use the 'dsjob' that is installed on the client PC nowadays?
