The easiest and safest way to do this is to do a full project export, create a new project and then do a full project import into the new one.

This indeed is the only way. But , be mindful that if at all you have environmental variables in the original project, they would not be copied over to the new one in the export. You either have to create them manually, resembling your old project or you can copy the dsparams file over from one project to the other!ArndW wrote:The easiest and safest way to do this is to do a full project export, create a new project and then do a full project import into the new one.

Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted

It is the only documented way to copy a project.

It's the only way, unless you want to have to repair stuff afterwards.
Well, of course, that's an over-simplification, and indeed there are other documented ways such as using the export/import capabilities of the FORMAT.CONV command or using the uvbackup/uvrestore utilities, but I don't consider these really to be a part of DataStage.
And certainly, going forwards (version 8 and beyond) I'm not prepared to guarantee that those would work.

That is a fair statement regarding 8 - there are so many additional things that happen when creating a project at V8 compared to V7 that going through the API is the only way that it can be done.

Did anything new come up for Copying Projects in Version8.5?
Hello,
We are planning to create a copy of existing Datastage Project. We are planning on exporting and importing the full project.
Is there any new utility in Version 8.5 that can do this easily?

Re: Did anything new come up for Copying Projects in Version
The two most common utilities you can use to export/import are by using the istool command line (isx file format) on client or server, or traditional Designer export/import (dsx file format) on the client tier. For that you can use the Designer GUI or the dscmdexport/import command line.dwuser2 wrote:Is there any new utility in Version 8.5 that can do this easily?
