Hi,

Currently I am deleting individual data sets using batch(bat) file using below code.It works well ..

@ECHO OFF
C:\IBM\InformationServer\Server\PXEngine\bin\orchadmin rm datasetfolder\dataset1.ds
C:\IBM\InformationServer\Server\PXEngine\bin\orchadmin rm datasetfolder\dataset2.ds

Similarly ,I would like to delete all datasets in the folder ..I tried using wild card "*.ds" instead of filename it did not work.I tried several options with rm but none of them worked.

Code: Select all

WARNING: could not delete datasetfolder\*.ds because it does not exist.

Please let me know what changes needed in the bat file

Thanks

That command doesn't support wildcards. If you want to do some flavor of "all" I would assume you would need to loop through a list of names and call the command in an iterative fashion. Fairly straight forward with a UNIX script... DOS batch file? No clue.

this works on ours as a routine -- *.* style wildcards work just fine...
I don't know how much it needs to change for windows. Could be an OS problem though.. maybe unix allows *.ds and windows did not?

deffun GetEnvVariable(Arg1) calling "DSU.GetEnvVariable"

Call DSExecute(PlatForm,MyCommand,DSExecuteOutput,DSExecuteResultCode)
