Re: Jobs Not Opening Prpoerly

See if you can open any stage in a server job. If the problem is only with jobs/routines properties in a sequencer that it could be because of Service Pack 2.I faced the same problem some time back. I am using Server Edition 7.5 and after Service Pack 2 was installed on my machine, I could nt open p...

In that case, I think we would be re-running the job but that would not be an everyday activity. I just want to explore if there's any way at all to run a never ending loop which keeps looking for a file. Initially I was think thinking of scheduling this job to run at regular intervals to look for t...

Wait-for-file should run continuously

My jobs should be triggered if I get a file in a particular directory. For that I should be writing a file-watcher job that is always running and looking periodically for files. Once the file is there it should trigger the main sequencer. As per my company policy I cant use crontab or any other sche...

Re: What is a Passive Stage

Stages in DataStage can be classified as active and passive stages.. Stages like Transformer which accept an input and perform some transformations and then move the data to some stage are active stages Where as stages like IPC, Sequential file which dont actually do any processing are passive stages.

Re: performance

Since nothing in the job/database design has changed and the performance has been dropped, not sure changing job/database will help.

10 G is not sufficient to process large amount of data.
