Version Control in DataStage

There is an option in the Administrator client to set the ability for operators to view all jobs. Open the Project properties and you will find on the Permissions tab a check box called DataStage Operator can view full log.

Export/import is the only available way to move jobs that have not been released from one project to another. If the export includes compiled code (there's a check box for this in the export dialogue) there is no need to re-compile.

You solve the re-naming problem in one of two ways. Either you re-write your scripts so they recognize the highest-numbered released job name, or you re-write your DataStage to use DSGetJobInfo() with DSJ.JOBNAME as the InfoType argument, which returns the actual name. DSAttachJob() automatically uses the highest-numbered released job if the unreleased job name is not present.
