Import multiple jobs

vish08 · Post by **vish08** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 9:37 am

I have multiple individual jobs(dsx files) that need to be imported into current porject.
It is taking time to import all jobs and for compiling them
What would be easy way to do this?

Concatenate the dsx files together and import them all at once. Then use the Multiple Job Compiler to compile them all at once.

search for DSXCUTTER and DSXCONCATENATE ....you can find the perl script posted by one of our dsxchange member ...

Open DSX in notepad and concate them to a single file or else FTP to unix and use concate command...

For DOS:

Code: Select all

copy a.dsx+b.dsx+c.dsx d.dsx

For UNIX:

Code: Select all

cat a.dsx b.dsx c.dsx > d.dsx

fyi - either one supports wildcards.

Not sure you can combine DSX files. There is a header record at the begining of each DSX file. It may ignore these when you try to import but I would not count on it.

I'm 99% sure it handles them just fine. I'll run a quick test later and see.
