DOM support in XMl output stage, Parameter Selector

[img]file:///C:/selector.JPG[/img] Currently every time i add a parameter , i have to open the parameter list again ...

Does the certification require prior experience with all databases to clear? I have worked only with SQL, Sybase, Oracle and DB2/UDB- never got my hands on Teradata,SAS,Informix or DB2/z\OS editions.

To have to go outside of DataStage to provide this basic database functionality seems out of line to me (being a DBA). There is a hole in the product that needs to be fixed.
Correct, and it should also be posted on the Wishlist

Yeah , one of the reasons why PX provides so many other 'special' stages to do what a server transformer stage normally is used in server jobs. Parallel transformers need the C/C++ compiler in addition to orchestrate engine. Might help to check current values of environment variables like APT_COMPIL...

Are you sure its encrypted data? It may also mean that you are using the wrong NLS MAP if your data looks like that!
Or else you need to decrypt the data outside of DS in the converse way of encryption.

My 2 cents : Parallel job functions arent as well documented the way server job functions are. No examples of using functions and results have been documented. So some amount of trial/error is a must.
