DataStageBackup Dos Script

Guys, sorry for being away for so many days but I am back :-)

Today, I am going to share a batch script , written by KIM DUKE, hats off to him :-). Originally this script is designed for Datastage 7.5 but we can easily re-write for current versions. Please play with it and share your script if possible :-)

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.

Restoring IBM Information Server components [DataStage]

If you backed up the files, directories, and databases associated with IBM Information Server, you can restore these components to recover your data in the event of hardware failure or other disaster.

This task assumes that you are starting on a clean computer on which IBM Information Server has not been installed. It also assumes that the host name of the computer is identical to that of the computer on which the backup was performed and that all components are being restored in the exact same location that they originally were in.

Backing up IBM Information Server components [DataStage]

You can back up the components of IBM Information Server to ensure that you can recover your data in the event of hardware failure or other disaster.

During installation, you are prompted to create an installer response file. It is useful to generate this file and store it in a backup location. If you need to reinstall IBM Information Server, you must use the same configuration as the original installation. If you have a copy of the installer file, you can pass the response file to the installer from the command line.
