DSXchange

You will have to change, on the basis that you are not already calling from BASIC. There is a suite of functions collectively called the BASIC SQL Client Interface, or BCI, that mimics the ODBC API. Search the forum for more information. The BCI manual is downloadable from IBM's online UniVerse manu...

Note also that in parallel jobs there is no Run limit unless you compile in trace mode. (You marked your job type as parallel even though you posted in the server forum.) Our comments about the Warning limit remain pertinent.

Be more specific about what you did when you "hosed" the project. Since &UFD& is "the current directory" ordinarily, I would suggest that the VOC entry for &UFD& has become corrupted. Can you post the results of this query?

Because 25 <> 30 <> 65 you can not claim that this is fixed width. Use VarChar, as I indicated. FTP does not care about delimiters; no stage does if there is only one column. Use DIGITS Transform to extract the numeric portions of the header and trailer records, and constraint expressions in the Tra...

There is no issue. You have not designed your job sequence to do anything about/with failed activities. Find details relating to causes in the individual logs of controlled jobs.

It may be insufficient memory. IBM recommends a minimum of 2GB just for the client alone. IBMers who have to run on laptops all have 3GB or 4GB of RAM in those.

On all nodes (fastnames) mentioned in your configuration file?

If you're a Vogon guard, the adjective is "useless", and it has to be shouted.

If it's urgent, ask your support provider, with whom you no doubt have a "premium service" contract to provide answers to urgent questions. DSXchange is an all-volunteer site whose participants post as and when they can. If you can view data there is nothing wrong with the Sequential File stage and...

Operator's Edition is the one you install with the DSDIR auth code rather than the DSDES auth code. Apart from that the Operator role is identically defined - it can only work with released jobs. In version 8.0 there is a "Super Operator" role that can work with all job types - can even open jobs re...

These aren't really expressions - they're really pseudo-expressions for OK and Warning triggers respectively. True expressions are really for Custom triggers.

Use a Copy stage with a Sample stage on the second output.

(Come on, keep 'em coming - the target is ten ways!)

Depends. What do you want to report? The intention (in deprecating the Reporting Assistant) was to force customers to use MetaStage for metadata reporting. With version 8 this has been replaced again, with some of the metadata reporting capabilities embedded in the metadata analysis server and more ...

"Plug-In" means "optionally installed".

The terms "FTP Plugin stage" and "FTP stage" mean the same thing.

Resist stupid requirements.
