I don't know about 8.1 but for 8.0 it is definately a risk.

We installed the clients on a 64bit windows. This works but is not supported. When we had issues (after working correctly for more then a year) the support answer was very short: NO.

hi, after the questions below we started on the assumption to do an upgrade in place. We're now trying that on a poc environment. This is not running smoothly . In the contacts we had with support during this they have tried to push us to a situation where we reinstall instead of doing the update. T...

Let me explain our current setup a bit further: Currently we are using 2 servers in our production environment. One runs all parts of the engine (except the DB which is an Oracle DB on another solaris server). The second one is reffered to in our config files to put processing on that machine and is...

hi, we're currently running datastage 8.0.1 and want to start the project to upgrade to 8.1 (latest version with all fixpacks). Because we had a lot of stability issues when moving to 8.0 we want to move slowly. However we don't have spare servers to install this on. So question is: can we install a...

we've found our issue also. fixpack2 wasn't installed correctly on the client. It seems a client on 8.0.1fixpack1a cannot save jobs on a server which is 8.0.1fixpack2. (the other way around is also not possible) This makes it rather difficult for us, since a dual install between these versions is al...

did you have any luck on finding this?

We just installed fixpack2 (on 8.0.1) and now have the same error. We are using Oracle as repository, so it won't be DB2 specific then.

While we were having these discussions I also had a case with support open. They've asked me to send the DS_JOBS folder and then there was no reaction for 2 days. After that they came back with the response below: 1) Change the category name of the job MSG_CONTACT_cr60552_ANU ED DS_JOBS MSG_CONTACT_...

we indeed did the reindex again and now see the list of jobs as it was (so with the same nameless folder) we cannot connect with director or manager .
the command 'LIST DS_JOBS WITH JOBTYPE EQ 3 REQUIRE.INDEX' gives us a very long list, so I think this is ok.

We can't open the manager, but from a commandline script we tried some jobs(the script we had available needs a joblist) and this seems to work. We now started this for the full project, and it will take some time( almost 4000 jobs in the project). If we have this we'll try to clear the project and ...

retried reindex (after releasing locks) and now we have the joblist back, we however still have the same problem of the nameless folder.

We tried the DS.REINDEX ALL , this resulted in an empty project. All files are still there in the unix-dir, but the list of jobs trough a client is empty.
