Monitoring Datastage job

I am looking for some ideas/suggestions concerning an issue with being notified if the Daily ETL job in Datastage has a problem. We have used the notification activity stages to send an email when the job fails, and it works great. But, in the past we have had a problem where the server running data...

What does the Transformer do? In particular does it invoke any routines? Have you re-compiled the job? And, most importantly, what has changed on the system since the job ran successfully? ... The transformer does some look-ups and some transformation (multiplying columns etc). I would think that i...
