DSXchange

The system, as it tells you, can not find 'D:/PROGRA~1/MKSTOO~1/etc/cxx.ccg'.

What values have you set for APT_COMPILER and APT_LINKER environment variables?

Place the stages in your template job, but do not provision them with metadata. Create a Template from that.

Then, when you create jobs from the template, either load the metadata or - if it is possible given your stage type selection - use the Schema File property duly parameterized.

In XML a data element is (simplistically) a container for zero or more data attributes . In DataStage, a Data Element is a great way to attach more information to a column about its purpose and other business metadata. One can perform Usage Analysis on a Data Element, for example to answer the quest...

There's quite a lot to do. There's even a separate document about it, which should be available for free from your support provider.

Pad with empty string means to fill the designated field width with Char(0) characters - these are ASCII NUL bytes.

Questions about parallel jobs should be posted in the parallel forum. When you do, please paste the exact error message (copy and paste it).

It's possible, but I am not going to set the precedent. Premium membership is one of the ways that the hosting and bandwidth charges incurred by DSXchange are met. It's less than 30c per day and good value with it.

It's obvious from a number of posts in the past that a DataStage server machine can deliver an infinite supply of CPU, memory and other resources, so go ahead and throw more and more demands for resources at it. It'll cope!
Not.

Doesn't your F1 key (help) work?

It doesn't mean anything in parallel jobs. You have marked your job type as parallel. In server jobs it is a sum of powers of two associated with the stage tracing options on the Tracing tab of the Job Run Options dialog. Trace mode 1 also occurs if you're running in the Debugger, since it uses the ...

No.

There is no "solution". Possibly there was a network interruption. Unless it occurs consistently there's no way to tell the cause.

DSX is more compact because it uses fewer tags. Therefore it is a smaller image, and emails faster.

Microsoft insists that the .dsx suffix means that it is a Visual Basic Designer Binary file, but they've been wrong in the past.

Post the design of your Switch stage.
