Error description
[Problem] customer wants to get "Category+jobname" list. So he executed the following command: C:\IBM\InformationServer\Clients\Classic\dssearch -domain SVSWDST1_DV:9080 -user dsadm -password passw0rd -server SVSWDST1_DV -ljobs -matches -sub -oc D4BKDWH_UT The command returned jobnames with category, but the listed jobs are not all. Only the part of jobs are returned.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: dssearch does not list jobs in categories as expected **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The dssearch command line, when using "-ljobs -matches -sub" options, does not return all jobs that match the given criteria. **************************************************************** RECOMMENDATION: Apply patch JR35342. ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
The patch fixes a problem where the code did not corectly follow subcategories recursively - therefore the results only contained jobs that are one level down in the folder tree. SPECIAL NOTE: The Release Notes for release 8.1 indicate that the dssearch command is not supported. However, there are a number of distinct options in dssearch: 1. Search for jobs by name (-ljobs -matches) 2. Search for job sequences that use specified job (-ljobs -usedby) 3. Search for jobs used in a specified job sequence (-ljobs -uses) 4. Search for job using specified table definition (-ljobs -usesdrstable) This patch means that option 1, "Search for jobs by name", is supported as documented. The other options 2-4, however, are not fully supported, and will not be until some future full release of Information Server. They can still be used, but will only return information for that subset of jobs that have been compiled in the project. If a job has not been compiled, it will not be found by dssearch using options 2-4, and if it has been edited since it was last compiled, out-of-date answers may be returned.
