create a file using sudo

We have a secure location on our DataStage Server where I use the below approach to work with a file.
Code: Select all
sudo -u <user_thats_owns_the_location> touch <file_name>
I can do it directly on the OS, but I would want to write to this location using a simple job.
Source_File -> Transformer -> Target_File
Any pointers?

Can you use an External Target stage to write the file via a sudo command?

I would want to implement this in existing server and parallel jobs.
Probably I should have been more clear/specific with my design, it is using sequential files (Majority of them are Server Jobs)
Source_Sequential_Stage -> Transformer -> Target_Sequential_File

Then run your job as the user ID to which you change using sudo. For example
Code: Select all
sudo -u userID "$DSHOME/bin/dsjob -run -jobstatus $projectname $jobname"

I was thinking if there could be anything introduced in the "Filter Command" of the sequential file stage or something on that lines.
Looks like there is no option, but to invoke the job as a different user.
Thanks again
