Hi Everyone

Good Morning !!

I have a Job executable DSX. Can anyone please suggest me how to design the job from Job Executable. Please find the job details as below :

Type of Job : Parallel
Job Execuatable in Version : 7.5
Job has to design in 8.7 version

Thanks in Advance..

I don't think that there is a way to directly get the design from executable only. Verify the source if the design is also present there. In case you find the job design you can directly import it to 8.7.

Else I am afraid all you have to do is to design the new job with specification present with you and then compare the results.

There is currently no automatic method to do this that I'm aware of.

You can examine the job's osh script and recreate it's functionality in the GUI. However, for any transformers, buildops and custom operators you will need the original source as that won't be available in an executable-only job export.

Regards,

Thanks for your responses :

I have only executable.. even i am ready to design the new job.. but the problem is i do not have logic for the stages(like Transformer/aggregator) used in that dsx..

Then you'll need to go back to the original specifications and / or the source to target mapping for guidance.

If you have the score from a recent execution you can re-build the job design in its entirety.
