Put that one user in a separate operating system group, and assign the DataStage Operator role to that group. If required, check "allow Operator to view full log" in Administrator.

The run that had the failure had a buffering problem (shortage of memory? I/O device?) - the run that did not have the failure also did not have the buffering problem. These intermittent faults are the hardest to diagnose!

It's not an error, it's an alert message. If you define a node pool called "export", whether or not you are in a grid environment, any export operator (for example a Sequential File stage that has an input link) will execute in that node pool. You are being alerted to the fact that your configuratio...

What stage type are you using? If it's a left outer join, you should be getting NULL as the return from the right input. You need some downstream processing to convert these NULLs to whatever replacement value you desire.

BigInt and Int are treated as the same in DataStage BASIC.

It can be done, as follows. When you import, choose Import Selected option button. The entire DSX file will be read into memory, but not imported. You can then select the individual component(s) you wish to import, before clicking the Import button. Note that executables may have been exported separ...

Apply a StringToDate conversion (with appropriate format specification) to convert the string to a date data type. Then apply a DateToTimestamp function.

What happens when you use SSub( string1 , string2 ) function, where the two arguments are your two numbers?
