DSXchange

As Craig notes, what you have attempted to do is inappropriate. The only safe ways to move objects from one project to another is export/import, Version Control or uvbackup/uvrestore. You can probably repair the old project. It depends what went wrong, and why. Copying files into a new project at th...

Note the square brackets in the error message. These tell you how far along the chain of processing things got before the error occurred. In your case the final token was that of the ODBC driver manager, which suggests that the ODBC driver itself could not be loaded. The driver test utility typicall...

Your note in the original post mentioned that NLS is disabled. I'm surprised you can do anything at all with Japanese characters.

Take a look at the SDK routines for converting COMP data types, then try to reverse their logic. It will be slightly different depending on whether you are processing signed values and on the number of decimal places.

The @INROWNUM system variable will give the row count thus far processed, but won't contain the total row count until the final row has been through the job. You *could* take a link out of the Transformer stage containing just one column, run it through an Aggregator stage that performs a Count (wit...

As Craig notes there are shortcut keys to all menu items, and shortcut keys only to some items of functionality.

If you don't have access to regedt32 I suggest you find someone who does.

Review the manual's section on importing table definition for fixed-width files. The total number of characters in the metadata must exactly match the total number of characters in the data record.

DataStage 7.5x2 will simply not run on Vista - I suspect it can't even be installed.

Is your F: drive local or remote? DataStage configuration file must be on a local file system on the machine on which DataStage server is installed.

It's not DataStage. DataStage just throws rows at the database server. Any restrictions exist there. For example, it is perfectly possible to bulk load the Red Brick database even when there is a mix of B-tree, target and bitmap indexes on a table. But, then, Red Brick was designed from the ground u...

We still need you to post the contents of default.apt so we can try to see why this might be happening.

Some progress has been made - you now know that the configuration file is faulty. Not corrupted, but not working either.

Is F: drive local or remote?

Make sure that you include a -jobstatus (preferred) or -wait option along with the -run option so that control does not return to the script immediately. Either of these options changes the dsjob command to synchronous execution by not returning (from the dsjob command) until the job changes state f...

Please post the contents of default.apt

Also advise whether you have set a different configuration file for that particular job.

I second Craig's observation.

Your location suggests that you are working for one of the world's largest suppliers of consultants. Get them to enrol you in a training class.
