We have weekly backups of our DataStage enviroments - XMETA database, WAS, etc. But this requires downtime.
We would like to do daily online backups to guard against loss of work, espeically in development.
One option we are considering is simply identifying projects or jobs that have changed and using istools to export to ISX files and writing to tape. Simple and requires no downtime, and easy to recover your work.
Is there a simple way to identify projects/jobs that have changed? Some UV command or query?
Thanks!
Brad.

How to identify jobs or projects that have changed
It is not that I am addicted to coffee, it's just that I need it to survive.
By the way, I know I can use a simple Unix find command and search for any item changed inthe last day:
I opened a project, compiled a job and immediately got the following list from the find command:
Thanks!

Code: Select all
find <projdir> -mtime -1
Just wondering if there is a cleaner way to do this.eiw_lwd_icon/DS_AUDIT/DATA.30

DS_AUDIT is not reliable in version 8. I think Brad's technique is about as clean as you're going to get. The DTM is available through XMETA, but querying that is ugly, even if you use Metadata Workbench.
