Hi,
Could someone tell me the path for dsdesign on the client machine.IBM Information Server is installed on solaris system and some windows clients. Could you please let me know the path for the dsdesign command execution on the client machine. Im unable to find dsdesign on client. This dsdesign command is used for creating HTML reports of jobs from client machine.

Thanks,
Prasanna

C:\IBM\InformationServer\Clients\Classic\DSDesign.exe is the default location.

If you have chosen to install the clients in a different folder, you will need to adjust the pathname. Use Windows Explorer search facility to find the executable.

Hi,

Thanks for the information. I have found dsdesign in the default location. When i run this exe, the designer opens up. Can you please give me the syntax for dsdesign from this path, to generate a html report for the job.

Thanks.

Hi,
I have used the following syntax for dsdesign and executed the same from the location C:\IBM\InformationServer\Clients\Classic

dsdesign.exe /H=<hostname> /U=<user> /P=<password> /R /RP="C:\Documents and Settings\Alice\My Documents\Job_Reports" <project> <job>

The command executes successfully , But the job report does not get created. Could you please look into why the job report does not get created. Did anyone test the creation of html report in Datastage 8. Am I using the correct syntax?

Thanks

You have to say his name three times to make him appear.

The report and bitmap options do not cause the Designer to open.

Learn patience. You post during my sleep hours and expect me to reply? Dream on.

I've been trying to make this work. Got the credentials part down as the errors have stopped and if I leave off /R /RP it opens the Designer for the job I've specified. HOWEVER, adding the /R and /RP gets me... nothing. I suspect a patch may be required.

ps. This is 8.1 on Linux.

Does the /SAVE_AS_BITMAP option work for you?

Hi,

The option /SAVE_AS_BITMAP opens up the designer.

Please help

Thanks.

Again, it shouldn't. It doesn't for me (8.0.1 on Windows).
