8.1 upgrade - changes in dsjob command

madog · Post by **madog** » Thu Mar 04, 2010 10:49 pm

Looks like the dsjob command options have changed in 8.1 from 8.01
Previously, you could specifiy the user / password to run as, but now it seems those options are gone. Can anybody confirm? Or let me know how to run the command specifying a different user? thanks.

Double-quote madness, Ray.

I tested the file method and it worked fine .. BUT

Is there a way to skip the domain also or none at all?

I mean using dsjob command as is ? My concern is we have a ton of scripts using dsjob in 7.5 that have to be upgraded to 8.1.

Not good.

Yep..IBM confirmed that unless there is only one version installed and using the default port, fully qualifying the server and port is mandatory for a dsjob command....

i couldnt get this to work.. maybe a syntax thing. vkumar, could u kindly please post an example of how you called the dsjob?

Or perhaps you could post the syntax you are using and what error it is throwing.

Syntax...

Prior to the patch
/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine/bin/dsjob -domain server -user dsadm -password dsadm -server server:31539 -lprojects

After the patch
dsjob -server :31539 -lprojects

RESOLUTION:

Fixed dsjob argument validation to allow "-server :portno" to be used without domain
authentication arguments

Here is the link to the patch...

I know that I'm replying to a relatively old post. But can you try the below:

Code: Select all

dsjob -domain bv03uap010ufmy3 -server tducte02 -user dsadm -password abcd123 -lprojects

If you already resolved it, ignore my post.

Cheers!

thank you for the responses.

in the end - it turned out to be permissions issues. I had to give access to files from /IBM/InformationServer/ downwards....

DSXchange

Is there a way to skip the domain and port?
