Okay, the record from the project table was cleared up, but now I get the following error message:

Code: Select all

ERROR: DSR.ADMIN: Error creating DR elements, Error was -1

Status code = -135 DSJE_ADDPROJECTFAILED
Next step?

Thanks!

Brad.

Never mind, I just went to a different project directory and ran the command and it was fine. The project did not exist in the LIST UV.ACCOUNT listing. Ray, I can log into the XMETA database, but my normal id has no select privileges. What id would normally be used for this type of cleanup activity?...

Getting rid of an invisible project

We are trying to create a new project in DS8, but are getting errors that it already exists. Obviously we must have tried to build this at some point. The problem is that we cannot find it anywhere. The Projects directory has no directory for it, and it is not listed when I run the dsjob -lprojects ...

I am usingthe Teradata Connector, but cannot find a place to specify the primary index. In the TD Enterprise stage, there was an option for this. Is there a comparable opti...

You may also check which EBCDIC codepage is being used at your host system and then set the environment variable APT_EBCDIC_VERSION accordingly. Klaus Any idea what APT_EBCDIC_VERSION is set to if it is not explicitly set? Where can I find it? I looked in Administrator at the project level settings...

Need to remove a bad project

We ran into an issue in our UAT environment and were not able to create projects. Turns out the DB2 repository ran out of space. That was resolved. However, the project that was being created when it failed is still out there.... sort of. If I look at the Projects directory, there was a directory wi...

Normally, I would recommend the remdup stage, but I don't know how it would deal with NULLs. You tell the remdup stage to keep either the first or last occurrence of a repeated record, but can it handle NULLs? If so, does it show up as low or high when sorted with dates or other datatypes? You may w...

One extra note. If you look carefully at the second line of the message:
tdread1: Property : Property not valid in source context [pxbridge.C:563]
There is extra spaces "Property <> not valid". Looks like some property specified somewhere ain't right. Clear as mud, huh?

You unpack a decimal in the column import the same as you would with an import. Your record should already be specified as binary EBCDIC. Set your import field to Decimal with the approriate length and scale and then set Packed to Yes (Packed is an option for the Decimal datatype).
