We took the DatsStageBackup.bat script and did the samething. It exports from a list of jobs then imports and compiles.

It was an easy fix to make that happen. Anybody could do it. I could walk you through the changes to fix it. The extra ...

I am not sure knowing a lot of this makes you a better DataStage developer. It probably helps more with admin. Most of this changes so much from one version of DataStage to the next that it helps less and less to know the internals. The future of the product is in PX anyway.

Even if you can extract this from DS_JOBOBJECTS then you may not get what you want. If you are using user defined SQL then you may need to parse the SQL to extract the table naames. One of the jobs in EtlStats extracts the properties of custom stages. This is almost always where PX jobs store target...
