Yes, anyone can.

But it's probably easier if you get it yourself, using the Configuration editor in the Manager client.

Copy stage does not have the ability to drop rows. On what basis do you assert that "no data is pushed to the output file"?

Are there any "import failure" messages in the job log? Were any row counts reported?

There is no equivalent for server jobs. I don't believe DSGetStageInfo() can retrieve user-defined SQL. You could, of course, retrieve the SQL from DS_JOBOBJECTS (a "hack") but I'd refrain from this approach because it ceases to work in version 8.0. Probably easiest is to use DSGetLogSummary() funct...

DSGetCustInfo() is only for parallel jobs. You can get a list of the custom properties of a stage from DSGetStageInfo() - for a parallel job, of course - and then use DSGetCustInfo() to get the value and description of each. Do not use DSGetCustInfo() with server jobs. They may enter an indefinite (...

There's no such thing as a Transform in a parallel job, unless accessed from a server shared container or a BASIC Transformer stage.

I've just checked the users of this site, and there doesn't appear to be anyone called "u". So it's unlikely that u will be able to answer your question.

$PROJDEF must be the default value for the job parameter, in the job.

The environment variable (set up in Administrator) must have a "genuine" default value - that is, not $PROJDEF, $ENV or $UNSET.

When you're in the Switch stage, click on Help or press F1. Help in DataStage is context-sensitive, and the explanations are usually easy to understand. The main idea that's new is that the output links are referred to as output ports, and are numbered from 0. You need to assert the output port numb...

Why? It's not possible unless you can move the Data Set control file from one server to the other and guarantee that the pathname to every resource disk is identical for every processing node and guarantee that the same nodes (exactly) are used when reading it as when writing it. It's not a reasonab...
