Line command compilation of category

Post by moughlis »

Hi all,

How can I export in DSX a category (with all the jobs in) ?

I already have a batch that does it, but job by job. it takes enough time when I have a large number of jobs in my category cause I have a FOR loop.

I use dsexport.exe.
I have to export on DSX format.

Thank you.

In Designer's repository view, you can simply right-click on a category and choose export. It will catch everything under that category into the DSX file. If you de-select the option to include dependencies, then the export will go much faster.

Thanks for your answer. But I have to do it in command line as I said it in the subject.

Other solution ?

I'm not aware of any command line option to export and create a DSX file based on a category. Maybe someone else knows. If not, then you could open a Request For Enhancement (RFE) with IBM. You could also open a severity-4 support case to ask about it.
