DSXchange

Best practice is, I believe, to create a dedicated directory within your project in which to store state files, and to supply that directory's pathname to the job as a job parameter.

Partitioning does NOT depend on business logic. Can you please justify that claim?

As to appropriate partitioning algorithms, I believe I covered that in my previous post on this thread.

... with all the appropriate environment variables correctly set.

When you add a Job activity to a job sequence, the Dependencies grid is automatically populated. Do your developers delete, or copy/paste Job activities? I am not sure what happens in that case. dssearch could only retrieve the dependency information from the Repository tables. Designer is ephemeral...

Read the manual/on-line help about buffering and transport. Then tune the block size so that your data CAN be accommodated. They're pretty huge messages!

You don't. You view it from Director. That's the main reason for having the Director client.

What is the setting of your T30FILE configuration parameter?

You have possibly created a Reject output link on your Transformer stage and your output link execution order has placed it first. Another possibility is that you are using a link variable called linkname.REJECTED on an output link that is executed before the link to which the link variable applies.

It's probably the same problem that prevented you from opening RT_LOG4483, about which you already have an active thread.

Beware that the Reporting Assistant has been deprecated for a couple of major releases, and does not deal with all types of metadata. What do you mean by "metadata" in this context? There is design-time metadata and run-time metadata. Both are stored in the Repository. What do you mean by "access" i...

Maybe the project directory (or the file system it's on) is full or at quota. You have a lot of jobs in this project if the name RT_LOG4438 is anything to go by. It may also be the case that your T30FILE configuration setting (which controls the maximum number of hashed files that can be open simult...

If it's any consolation, I think we ALL got caught by it at some point.

Who reads all that legalese stuff anyway?

A couple of small but necessary corrections to Teej's post. Even in version 8.x QualityStage remains separately licensed. That is, you can run DataStage without QualityStage - the data quality stage types remain disabled. Second, if you are a server-only shop, you do NOT get all the new goodies. You...

Almost certainly not. I am only here till Friday lunchtime (it's already Wednesday night) and I need Thursday night to prepare for my departure. The training I am conducting is exhausting, so late nights are definitely out. I will be in Bangalore again (not within the next three months). How about, ...

Missing links will be picked up by the compiler. As to the others, there is no automatic review tool of which I'm aware, probably because there is no universally-agreed set of standards that would need to be enforced. How could you ever tell, for example, that an annotation is missing? This is a cas...
