Purpose

This command either creates a DataStage project in a nominated environment or simply exist with a success code if the DataStage project already exists. It is used frequently at the beginning of pipelines to assert that a target environment with which the pipeline will deploy and execute code is present and available.

Usage Notes

Due to a known issue with the DataStage dsadmin command itself it is not possible to distinguish between…

• a DataStage project that already exists, and

• a DataStage project that doesn’t exist in the DataStage repository, but for which the associated filesystem directories does exist.

There may be some situations in which this causes the create-project command to fail.

When faced with an inexplicable failure of this nature check to see if the project’s directory structure already exists on the filesystem. If so, and it’s safe to do so, remove the file structure and try again
