[srireddypunuru]

Hi,

I have an DATASTAGE 8.1 in AIX i need to import huge dsx in to the DS Server using Command line. What is the most efficent of way of importing the dsx from the server side. And to add to this when is export the code from DEV should it have both design and Executable also or only design which one is considered as the best practice. (Moving the code from DEV to QA)

Thanks

If I understand your question, the most efficient way would be to export it to an ISX file using the IS manager or istool command. That way it could be loaded on the server without being transferred from a client PC.

Depending on your release of 8.1 you will probably have to get a comprehensive istool patch installed before it works.

Thanks for the message. My requirement is I need to Import the code in DS 8.1 where all the dsx will be stored in a Directory i need to have a Script which would be invoked by Buildforge tool inturn that would import the code.

There's nothing contradictory there. Your script would invoke the istool command.
