For DOS:

Code: Select all

copy a.dsx+b.dsx+c.dsx d.dsx
For UNIX:

Code: Select all

cat a.dsx b.dsx c.dsx > d.dsx
fyi - either one supports wildcards.

There are a ton of conversations here on the topic of that -14 or "Timed out while waiting for an event" error. Have you been through them? What solution was offered that there's a problem understanding? I'm assuming it was something along the lines of "run fewer jobs at the same time...

What 8.x version do you have? There is something new in 8.1 (from what I recall) that will allow the generation of a surrogate key with a call to a new function in the Transformer stage. There's also this FAQ posting if you want to do it in a manual fashion.

SET PATH=%PATH%;<whatever you need to add>

You're not going to want to trigger the job directly from there unless you're willing to simply launch it without waiting for it to complete or being able to monitor its success or failure. :?

Just how tightly coupled do these processes need to be?

Concatenate the dsx files together and import them all at once. Then use the Multiple Job Compiler to compile them all at once.

No dsenv file in Windows. As noted, your runtime $PATH variable is not correct. As noted, if you can't correct it, use an absolute path.

So, one typically takes a 'two pronged' approach - backup everything (Engine, projects, the works) at the filesystem level and also take exports of all projects. With those you should be able to recover from pretty much anything.
