We tool the DataStage command line tools and created our own migration tool. I took the batch files that back up a project and changed them so they export a job from a list. Next it strips all shared containers using a Perl script because the export automatically exports dependent objects. Next it i...

I saw a demo of it in Vegas and thought it was pretty cool. I thought for prototyping it would be very powerful.

As far as I know macro code is hidden. DSHostName does not always return the same value on UNIX as the hostname command. I shell out and run the UNIX hostname command most of the time. Windows the macro is fine.

The source for this hashed file is: 0,"Running" 1,"Finished" 2,"Finished (see log)" 3,"Aborted" 7,"Validated OK" 8,"Failed validation" 9,"Has been reset" 11,"Valida...

Sorry I edited my response. Poorly worded answer. RT_BPnnn is for server jobs. The code used to be readable and you could see more how the engine works.

If someone has intalled on V8 then please let us know how it works. If you have any improvements to these jobs then please let me know and I will try and post ...

You also need to fix your umask in dsenv and uv.rc.
