Error description
*Error -3 getting information for parameter* When dsjob references variables in the param files that are not in the job. When there is a mismatch between the number of parameters in the job and the parameters in the param files referenced by dsjob, datastage generates the above error. This is by design to ensure that all values sent into dsjob are used. This request is to bypass the check that all of the parameters in the parameter file have a corresponding variable in the job design. This proves to be an advantage when there are many sequences or jobs that are called, but not all of them use the parameters in the parameter files.
Local fix
modify the jobs/sequences so that all of the parameter entries in the parameter files are defined in the jobs/sequences
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Users of dsjob command interface **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: dsjob produces an error if parameters are specified which are not used by the job **************************************************************** RECOMMENDATION: Apply patch if the issue is problematic ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
Added a command line option '-ignextraparams' which suppresses the error production when surplus parameterrrs are specified
