if Emp_type='P' then 1 else if Emp_type='T' then 2 else -1

I got 1:45 min to resolve my test. There was 79 questions. As it is in my examination score report I got 56 questions answered properly. And as my score report says I got 85% score. Maybe some questions are 1pt for good answer and the others 2pt?

I got passed the certification exam today also :D Big thanks to vmcburney for his blog. It helps me very much. But I am a little confused about the final score: how it is calculated?

Thanks a lot for all your answers.

In using this tool since 1998 I've never heard of the daemon hanging, so what's the real problem you're having? I don't have such problem. I want to make some monitoring tool for datastage environment and I though it could be good idea to figure some other states of ds daemon, not only running and ...

I think it could be cause of not having complementary knowledge of DS.
