Help needed in scheduling script using crontab

bhaskarjha · Post by **bhaskarjha** » Fri Jul 14, 2006 10:13 am

Hi,
I am using crontab to schedule my datastage job.
My crontab file looks like

30 20 7 7 1 /home/temp1 > /home/temp1.log

And temp1 file contains:

cd /home/dsadm/Ascential/DataStage/DSEngine/bin

dsjob -run -mode NORMAL -wait -jobstatus ProjectName Job_Name

but after scheduling the crontab, its giving error "dsjob not found".

Can anyone please help.
Thanks,
Bhaskar

you need to set your environment. You need to run the dsenv to set the environment variables.

You are manually scheduling jobs into cron? Don't. Use Director which will build a proper crontab entry for you automagically.
