Hi Experts,

 

I have a list of DI jobs stored in different metadata folder. I want to compare the name of the DI objects with metadata folder name.

 

for example,  I can have DI job called 001_job1 and 002_job2 and both jobs are stored as metadata object in metadata folder called 000_folder

 

My question is how do I export or retrieve the name of each DI objects and it's corresponding metadata folder name?

 

the output can be like:

 

metadata_folder             DI job

000_folder                      001_job1

000_folder                     002_job2

 

 

 

Thanks.

are you asking about comparing the dictionary.columns with dictionary.tables or sashelp.vcolumns with sashelp.vtables.

Thanks,

"compare the metadata object  name with its metadata folder name"

What do you want to compare? If a metadata object has the same name than it's containing metadata folder? And what kind of metadata objects are you talking about?

Hi

 

You can use the sas-list-objects batch tool to list all the job and their corresponding folder, like so:

...\SASHome\SASPlatformObjectFramework\9.4\tools>sas-list-objects.exe -host someName -port 8561 -user yourUser -password yourPassword -types Job -format csv > c:\temp\joblist.csv

 

Another way of doing it would be using the %MDSECDS macro like so:

%mdsecds(memberTypes="Job")

Using this method, you already have all the information as a SAS data set.
