DSXchange

can you log on to the system as xmeta?? I suspect if the account is locked or its password is expired or something?

Is port 50000 being by any other service?

And, I did a file on a few libraries in WAS and this is what I got :

file libSelector.so
libSelector.so: executable (RISC System/6000) or object module not stripped

As you can see, it doesnt answer my question. Should I be using on some specific files?

What happens when you do 'Test Connection' from the WAS web console? does it connect?

Hi Arnd, How are you doing? Thanks for the quick reply. It is not with regards to hashed file but generally with respect to the DS and WAS installation? I was told that IIS 8.1 is all 64 bit - we have db2 9.5 for repository so that for sure is 64 bit. But wanted to confirm the same for DS and WAS. I...

Hi,

If we install IIS v8.1 then

1. Is DataStage a 64 bit engine by default?
2. Is WAS 32 bit by default?

Is there any command I can use to find out?

Hi, Not sure if this has already been answered in some post, if so then please guide me to it. Basically, I need to know if using dscmdexport.exe, can I 1. Include the read only objects, because most of our shared containers are read only in prodction. 2. Exclude the job executables. Cheers Aakash

Or you can set a project as protected as well (downside is that then it will become read-only for every one)

Hi,

Does somebody know how can I set up DS v8 so that a specific group of users can view the jobs in designer but NOT be able to run them either from designer. director or command line.

I tried setting ACL's on the project directory but it doesn't work. Any help??

I agree Arnd.... but I was just thinking it doing this way: Backup metadata repository soon after the install (so that all the install config info is secured). Then on regular frequencies, export projects and do filesystem backups of DS. Backup WAS profile each time it changes. If things go horribly...

Hi, Does any body know of any known issues which arise when a DS v751 client is installed on the same box / LPar as DS v801 (we have domain / metadata rep. layer on a different box than the engine layer)? Also, are there any specifics to be kept in mind before / while performing this kind of a setup...

Hi, I intend to device a backup plan for our DS v8 installation. But I have noticed that DS has some information in the xmeta database (DB2 in our case) although I am not sure how it all connects. If somebody can explain me how it all connects (DS, DB2, WAS etc.) and what components should be backed...

you have a handfull of containers.. so just dont grep on the output. Use a pattern file with container names in them.

yes, the database is catalogued.

try changing ulimit for the user to unlimited.
