Retrieving asset names from InfoSphere Information Server Manager

You can use IBM® InfoSphere® Information Server Manager to identify the IBM InfoSphere DataStage® and QualityStage® assets that you want to add to an archive, and retrieve the names of these assets.

You can retrieve the names of multiple assets in a single operation, or you can retrieve the name of a single asset at a time.
To retrieve the names of multiple assets in a single operation:
  1. In the repository view of InfoSphere Information Server Manager, select a number of assets by clicking the assets while holding down CTRL.
  2. Right-click and select Copy from the pop-up menu.
  3. In a text editor program, right-click and select Paste from the pop-up menu.
The full text path of the asset is inserted into your document. For example, selecting some job icons in the repository view might result in the following strings being added to your document.
SPARK/aTestProject/Jobs/Folder1/Job3.pjb SPARK/aTestProject/Jobs/Job2.sjb
To retrieve the name of a single asset at a time:
  1. In the repository view of InfoSphere Information Server Manager, select an asset by clicking it.
  2. Right-click in the Repository view and select Show Properties from the pop-up menu.
  3. Select the name of the asset in the properties view.
  4. Right-click and select Copy from the pop-up menu.
  5. In a text editor program, right-click and select Paste from the pop-up menu.
After you have assembled the names of the assets that you want to export in a document, you can copy and paste the names from there to a command-line prompt, or to a script that you are building.
