How to pass string parameters containing SPACES to a job.

[bsreenu]

The parameters will be passed to dsjob from shell script which is turn will execute the datastage job. Example:

dsjob -run -param value1="Test String one"

We get an invalid syntax error. So how do I pass strings containing spaces and special characters as run time parameters.

You need to tell it which project it's running in and which job to run.

Code: Select all

dsjob -run -param value1="Test String one" projectname jobname

Try using "eval dsjob ...". We found that the quotes weren't being honored. Check out this script which shows a method for launching and monitoring a controlling job:
