A job does not have a path. It is a set of objects stored in a database called the Repository - there is a separate Repository for each project in versions earlier than 8.0. DataStage server jobs are executed in a "virtual machine" called the DataStage Engine by a DataStage program called DSD.RUN, which reads appropriate entries from that database to execute what was designed. It usually starts child processes, especially for jobs that contain Transformer stages.

Hi,
Thanks for your response.I'm working on deployment.I test the jobs in QA server(Testing server).Jobs are successful.
I want to login to the ftp sever and check if the data files successfully loaded are not.
For that i have to know the name of the output files being FTPed.
Where and how can I find this parameter values?
Thanks in advance

The only way to transfer jobs between projects (regardless of what server they are on) is via the DataStage export/import methods. This export file, either in .dsx native format or as .xml, can then be ftp'd.
Or are you looking at the data files used in DataStage?

Normally the paths used for files are runtime parameters so you can look it up in the log files, or use the dsjob command and a shell script to parse the path out.

You need to know the output file name. Then you can search for it. Typically at least the file's directory will be a job parameter, so its location is indeterminate by inspecting the DataStage design. You need to consult the Director client (or job log via dsjob command) to determine with what parameter values the job was run.

It is very hard to understand your requirements. The output file(s) are defined in the jobs and only you have access to those.

There is no log folder. Each job log is a table in the Repository database. It can be accessed via the Director client or via the dsjob command.
I think you would be wise to consider enrolling in a DataStage Essentials class.
