Define "performance" in an ETL context.

Define "performance" differently.

Set the system clock back while the job is running.

Sheesh.

There is no mechanism for passing structures. I invite you to consider, however, that every structure is a string of characters (or, perhaps, a Raw data type in Orchestrate terminology) so, if you were to pass one of these, and set up your structure as a pointer to the same address, then you ought t...

Search for "failed to load" would be a good start. Then investigate your shared library search list environment variable.

Edit your post and check the "Disable smilies in this post" check box.

You will find that the post has occurred. Proceed from there. 3. The word "hey" at the beginning of your post is superfluous and, to s...

Source code for dsjob is in the manuals. You can adapt that you suit your own particular needs.

Why not create a server job to read (and filter, based on job parameters) a job log (the name of which is given as a job parameter)?

I am guessing that you have NLS enabled, and that therefore DataStage is expecting to work with Unicode data and will take every opportunity (such as during runtime column propagation) to do so.

The master project directory must be C:\Projects. This folder contains all project directories. There is one project directory for the TECH project.
