Hello,
I want to move data from dataset to a sequential file using a command. I tired the following command i got an error.
orchadmin dump updateims21.ds update.txt
-ksh: orchadmin: not found [No such file or directory]

Thanks

Path may not be set properly might be the reason. Go to pxengine/bin and from there execute the same. It will work.

It will work that way only if the current directory "." is included in PATH.

It was mentioned here recently that dumping datasets via command line may not give the results you expect due to special/nonprintable characters, etc., so be careful in testing the results.

I did try following command

/opt/IBM/Engine/InformationServer/Server/PXEngine/bin>orchadmin dump /di/data/proj/inbound/updateims21.ds /di/data/proj/inbound/1.txt

It did not return any error but i did not get any output into the file.

Did it dump the data set to your screen? If you want to redirect output from a command into a file, you have to put > in front of the file: echo ABC >file.txt

I used > in the command still no data was dumped in to output file
/opt/IBM/Engine/InformationServer/Server/PXEngine/bin>orchadmin dump /di/data/proj/inbound/updateims21.ds > /di/data/proj/inbound/update.txt

do you have permission to execite orchadmin command?
