Installing IIS 8.0.1 software on Linux 64 bit OS

Hi, I am curious to know whether anyone installed IIS 8.0.1 software on Linux 64 bit operating system sucessfully ? IBM supports only in 32 bit mode. But I was told that we can install in 64 bit OS by pointing to the 32 bit libraries the only hitch is IBM will not support in case of any issues. I wo...

I had the same problem in one of my jobs. I resolved it initially in a roundabout way by calculating the length by using Index function on first space to get the length of the string and then moving (1, length) to the output field. Later I found that if you define your field as VarChar in all the st...

Re: SIGSEV

Hi, I too received this SIGSEV error message. So for I found it in two different scenario. 1. One is due to file system error. Either segmentation error or may not able to handle large volume size. Some time this will occur in the lookupstages.. Sol: Change the jobs to use Join Stage or Merge Stage...

Trim your input and check for NULL before concatenating. See if it helps Hi Narasimha, I tried with Trim too. It didn't worked. Is there any specific trim function I should be using ? I tried 'Trim' and 'TrimLeadingTrailing' and both didn't work. Try using ltrim and rtrim for eg. ltrim(rtrim(stgFNa...

Re: How do I concatenate two input Character fields

Just noticed this in the original post. Which suggests to me that the other job was a server job. Hi, The job which worked is a parallel job. But the Input Sequential file is coming from a server job. Does that make any difference ? Hi, I don't think so, any problem with sequentail file. Debug your...

How are you asking for the length to be reported? Create more output columns - define their derivations to use the Len() function. Is the output file fixed-width format? If so, the fields will always be padded to length. Yes. The output file is fixed width format. That explains why I am getting the...

Nothing should be in quotes. Create another output link from the Transformer stage containing the values from the stage variables and the value from the derivation. Run this into, say, a Peek stage; inspect the results and diagnose. You may discover (for example) that LastName is truly empty in som...

Try Firstname:Lastname
That is what I am trying. I am deriving the fullname by 'Svfirstname : Svlastname' and still getting only first name in the fullname field. All the stage variables are defined as varchar.

Yes, we have the Enterprise Stage on our palette. However, we cannot access our DB2 database using it (we have been able to successfully access our DB2 database using the DB2 API stage). We've been told the reason we can't use the DB2 Enterprise stage is because we have different OS versions between...
