I just wonder whether you could simply use SQL Server utilities to move all the tables to a different server. All the information therein is what the services access; about the only possible reconfiguration might be telling the WAS where the Information Server database is.

Don't be "damn sure". Check. If there were no "R" in your data you would not get this error message.

Job sequences are partially compiled on the client machine. This error possibly relates to your not having write permissions in the relevant folder on the client machine.

You follow the installation instructions that came with the driver. To configure a DSN, you need to do two things; the first is to put an appropriate entry into the .odbc.ini file in the DataStage Engine directory (which is where all DSNs visible to DataStage are recorded). The other is to record th...

Can you please purchase a premium membership? Premium membership is one of the ways that the hosting and bandwidth charges incurred by DSXchange are defrayed. Membership is not expensive, at less than 30c per day. I do not propose to set a precedent of undermining that funding mechanism. Therefore I...

The only thing I can suggest is that the Copy stage is kept because its output does not connect to a virtual Data Set. Indeed, the operator associated with the Data Set stage is copy which may mean that "your" Copy stage was eliminated, but there is a copy operator to transfer data to the Data Set. ...

Don't know. Can we see the generated OSH? I'm particularly interested in the record schemas - obsfuscate the column names if need be, but preserve the 1-1 relationship between real names and obfuscated names.
