Exporting jobs through DSEXPORT

sudeepmantri · Post by **sudeepmantri** » Tue Oct 27, 2009 12:46 am

Dear All,

I need to take the export of each jobs in my project (At job level one by one) and put them into VSS for maintaining the versions.

I wrote scripts first to get all the job names form entire project into a .dat file and then I am reading from that file, one line at a time to execute DSEXPORT command.

Everything working perfectly fine but after export of each job a message pops up which needs a key press (enter)..

I dont want to sit and do this all day for all the jobs (there are around 1200 jobs)

Is there any way we can avoid this to automate this functionality completely?

Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
Sudeep

What exactly is it asking you to confirm?

Sorry for the delayed response....Nothing to confirm...Just a message which says "Omitted XXX read only entries" and a sinlge OK button. I press enter and thats it...can we not automate this "Enter Key Press" or skip this message some how

Are you sure you're only exporting a single job at a time? That looks like an 'export the whole project' message to me. Can you post your syntax, please?

Here goes the syntax

for /F "tokens=1" %%i in (C:\EXPORT\DsxList.dat) do (C:\IBM\InformationServer\Clients\Classic\dsexport /H=FINODS /U=xxxxx /P=xxxxx /JOB=%%i FINODS_2_DEV C:\EXPORT\%%i.dsx)

where C:\EXPORT\DsxList.dat is a file which contains the job names I wanna export.

The command iterates through the list and calls DSEXPORT command creating a file named %%i.dsx (that is Job name.dsx)

In some web page I saw to pass on a carriage return to the command by storing the "Enter Key" in a file..But even that did not work out

for /F "tokens=1" %%i in (C:\EXPORT\DsxList.dat) do (C:\IBM\InformationServer\Clients\Classic\dsexport /H=FINODS /U=xxxxx /P=xxxxx /JOB=%%i FINODS_2_DEV C:\EXPORT\%%i.dsx < enter.dat)

That would work if the prompt was on the command line. Since this is a dialogue box, that's going to make it more difficult.

So any alternate to this??? Or I have to live with this stuff

I don't know, it's certainly not an issue in 7. Have you asked your official support provider?

Do you need a /D switch for the domain, the same as dscmdexport?

Looks like you'll need 8.1 FP 1 with /NODEPENDENTS to run in silent mode. Found http://www-01.ibm.com/support/entdocvie ... wg1JR30121

Through the forum, I found that /xml runs in silent mode, no dialogue box.

Hi,
Can you please share the

how to call that script or batch file through command prompt.

Please reply ASAP

Thanks in advance..

Is there a /O switch for dsexport?
