A .dsx export file is a file you generate from the DataStage Designer Client to transfer DataStage-specific assets between projects.

When you Export DSX files for S2PX conversion…

  • ⛔️ DO NOT include assets in your DSX which fail to compile in DataStage.

  • ✅ DO include, in the exported DSX, all Jobs' dependencies required for successful compilation, such as Shared Containers and Parameter Sets.
