Hi, i am using 11.7 windows version. i am trying to export all ds objects thru isx commands. i am able to do for jobs, connections, parameters settings. But when i am trying to export routines, it is giving error like export failed. Below is sample command.(i renamed the servernames and creds). Any suggestions? How to export routines?

C:\>C:/Progra~1/IBM/InformationServer/Clients/istools/cli/istool export -abort 1 -domain SERVERXXX:9443 -username user -password psd -ar C:/temp/Routines.isx -ds 'SERVERXXX/RMD_DM/Routines/Examples/Functions/*.*'
Beginning Export of DataStage
Elapsed time: 00:00:00
Exported 0 assets
Export failed

You're trying to export the supplied (read-only) routines? Perhaps these are bypassed by the istool exporter.

oh my bad. The test project doesn't have user routines. But I have a question. why it will gives failed error. it make me confusion.

Thanks ray. you are correct. I am able to export user created routines.

The tool always makes the assumption that exporting 0 assets is a failure.

In this particular case, the *.* pattern did not find any exportable routines.

Understood. Thank you Ray.
