Exporting optimized jobs

You can export an optimized job from the IBM® InfoSphere® DataStage® Designer client and maintain its relationship to the root job.

Export optimized jobs together with their root job because if you export the jobs in isolation, the relationship is exported too. If a job exists on the target computer with the same name as the root job, then a link is established with that job. This linking might be the required behavior, but it can also lead to unexpected relationships.

You can export optimized jobs from the Designer client. You can also export optimized jobs by using any of the other available export methods including the export service, the asset interchange interface, or the InfoSphere Information Server Manager.

  1. Select the optimized job in the repository tree.
  2. Right-click and select Export from the menu.
  3. In the Repository Export window, select the Include dependent items option.
  4. Specify the name of the export file.
  5. Click OK to export the optimized job with its root job.
