DSXchange

You can stop looking, there isn't one. There is a Tutorial that ships with the DataStage software - ask your employer for the CD and a project so that you can install the same.

Please advise:
(a) exactly what tr command was executed (and specifically what quote characters were involved)
(b) the exact error message that was generated by the tr command
(c) what version of the operating system you are using (uname -a)

Etiquette Note When a problem has been solved, the OP marks the thread as Resolved and adds a post indicating how the problem was solved, to aid future searchers. I suspect you used either the Fmt() or the Fold() function after searching the forum, but it would be nice to know exactly what you did ...

There is a telco in India using a server-only DataStage implementation, relying upon multi-instance jobs to achieve scalability. They are processing crores of records per day, and the Data Warehouse is many tens of TB in size. Could be approaching 100TB by now. They're happy with it.

Yes, but then again no. The Transformer code invokes functions (generically called things like "get next row", "get row by key", "put") that are exposed by the passive stage on the other end of each link.

It won't be anywhere. You need to scrutinize the job design itself.

This is because you did not install Visual Studio .NET C++ compiler before installing DataStage.

Only the Transformer and Build stages require this - you will be able to compile any job that contains neither of these stage types.

What stage type are you using for the target?

You can export one job, or one category of jobs, from the Export tool. However, if you require a separate DSX for each job, these must be done separately. The Version Control product is not recommended because it is discontinued in version 8 of DataStage. Therefore what you propose - to pretend that...

Input port #0 is the one coming from your Sequential File stage. Check the input link execution order for the Lookup stage.

DSD.StageRun is the routine that runs Transformer stages - it's one that was provided with the software. The error message suggests that you've provided a non-numeric value for some parameter that is supposed only to take numeric values. You need to do some detective work in your job design to figur...

Indexes, and the rebuilding thereof, is associated with the Repository in which ALL job types (and other objects, such as Routines) are stored. Therefore, there is no different way to do it for server jobs versus parallel jobs.

There are three different ways to delete a hashed file (note, not hash file): which one you should choose depends upon how the hashed file was created.

Once you've sorted that out, you would invoke the appropriate command through a call to the DSExecute subroutine.

It may not require conversion. DO what was asked (send it to a text file) and tell us what you got in that file. Look at the file using a text editor, not View Data from DataStage.

It's invisible.

You put stuff in using DSSetUserStatus() function, probably in a Transformer stage.
