Saving InfoSphere DataStage settings files

In Linux and UNIX, for Version 7.5.3 and earlier, the engine directory is /user_home/Ascential/DataStage/DSEngine, where user_home is the home directory of the InfoSphere DataStage administrator who originally installed InfoSphere DataStage.

For Version 8.0.1 and later, the engine directory is /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine. By default, this user is named dsadm. For Version 7.5.3 and earlier, each project is in its own directory in the /user_home/Ascential/DataStage/Projects directory.


For Version 8.0.1 and later, each project is in its own directory in the /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/Projects directory.

In Microsoft Windows, the Engine directory is C:\IBM\InformationServer\Server\DSEngine.

For Version 7.5.3 and earlier, each project has its own directory located, by default, in the C:\Ascential\DataStage\Projects directory.

For Version 8.0.1 and later, each project has its own directory located, by default, in the C:\IBM\InformationServer\Server\Projects directory.

Procedure

1.    Complete these steps to save the required settings files:

a.    Copy the $DSHOME/dsenv file to a location that is outside of the InfoSphere DataStage file structure.

b.    To keep a record of the existing configuration and the configuration of the ODBC drivers, copy the following files to a location that is outside of the InfoSphere DataStage file structure:

§  $DSHome/.odbc.ini

§  $DSHOME/uvodbc.config

§  The uvodbc.config file that is located in each project directory

c.     Copy the DSParams file from each project directory to a location that is outside of the InfoSphere DataStage file structure.

2.    Complete these steps to save the required settings files:

a.    Copy the DSParams file from each project directory to a safe location.

b.    Copy the DSParams file from the Template project. For example, save the C:\Ascential\DataStage\Template\DSParams file.

c.     Copy the $DSHOME\uvodbc.config file in the engine directory.

d.    Copy the uvodbc.config file that is located in each project directory.
