You can use the Incremental DataStage Deployment task to deploy an entire directory of ISX files to an existing DataStage Project. Functionally, this is the equivalent of deleting everything from the existing project, importing all ISX files, provisioning all QualityStage rules and compiling all Jobs, Sequence, Server Routines and BuildOps. However, the task will minimize the deployment time by performing as few operations based on the content of the existing project.
Task Availability
This task is available after installing the MettleCI - DataStage Deployment Plugin (dm-dsdeploy-plugin.jar)
