Where did you find that support for running server jobs will continue?
I have not been able to find any reference to that.

Does this also include Basic routines and Basic expressions used in job sequences?

I am curious to know if there are people who are already using the dockerized installation of DataStage, which is available since fixpack 2, for example on Azure or AWS. I would be interested to hear what are you experiences using the docker installation, and what are the challenges that you faced w...

For now you have to use a workaround like a unix script like the one just mentioned.

The enhancement of the DataStage functionality is planned for the next major release according to IBM Product Management.

Oracle 10g is out of support with Oracle, so you probably want to upgrade your database as well.

Going the official way as well, but I am betting on two horses. Maybe someone here has ran into this problem before. There are always more people playing with new functionality.

If the official support provider horse wins, I will post the results here as well obviously

I am creating multiple files through one sequential file stage using the "Generate Multiple Files" option. The filename is based on a root file string plus the value of a key column, so that for each distinct value of the key column a new file is generated containing the key value in the f...

We have managed to recover the job designs. We followed the following steps: 1. Create fresh datastage installation 2. Imported xmeta repository export 3. Copied DataStage project-directory file system backups 4. Installed lastest ISALite version 5. Used the ISALite SyncProject utility to recover th...

Is the xmeta part not needed to create the export then?
I did a few small tests on my own system, but it looked like as if what is shown in Designer for the export is depending on what is xmeta?

Do you mean that the design information of the server jobs is still all stored on the file system, rather than in the xmeta repository? That means we would not need to do anything with the DB2 repository export for this?

I am currently at a site that has a serious problem: 1. The Development environment installation has been seriously messed up 2. They do not have a recent export of the DataStage jobs from this environment. They could restore the production jobs to a clean installation, but would then loose months o...

Is DataStage still using the same user? I have seen errors like that when the datastage user did not have permissions for the Oracle client libraries.
Can the DataStage user access Oracle through client tools like sqlplus?

What is the correct / best method to create datafile assets for hashed files? I found out here that to create a datafile asset, I have to change the locator for the table definition in datastage and change tabletype to Sequential (I assume that is generic for all datafile assets, and there is not a ...

why would the Import/export manager to get a better result than an import initiated in datastage?

I am working on the Metadata Workbench Essentials course, and I am trying to figure out how a Database table asset gets linked to a stage. In the course there is one example where this link is not done automatically, and you have to use manual linking. That is of course fine to explain manual linkin...

There is a utility dscompinst to install or uninstall plugins after the initial installation. You can add the MQseries plug-in using: ..\IBM\InformationServer\Server\DSComponents\bin\dscompinst -username <admin-user> -password <password> -locale en_US -install -force ..Install_executables\InfoSvr_v8...
