DSX file compilation and dsx export feature at the server level (linux os).

At GM we are in a process of implementing DevOps CI/CD pipeline. We have come up with Linux based Datastage auto deployment tool. We wanted to maintain individual DS object dsx file (only design without executable) in bitbucket and then tool to pickup these dsx files and deploy to target and compile it. However, dsx compile CLI is not available on Linux and therefore, we can not use this solution which is highly effective for our DevOps pipeline.

Secondly, dsx export CLI is also not available at the server side. If you can provide that CLI on Linux it will help us in DS development, test, code review and deployment automation.

    DSX is not our strategic interchange format. The go forward format is ISX.

    We are supporting server based compilation within the new DFD interface.
