Which part of the manual don't you understand? You use the console to publish DataStage jobs as web services. You can publish a multi-instance job, you can specify "always-running" versus "wake on demand" (my terms) as the strategy. The IBM class DX506 RTI - Web Services explains in more detail.

I can be a little more certain than Craig, but with the same news; there's nothing out there but the official IBM curriculum: in particular class DX506 RTI - Web Services.

Technical point: on SMP systems, Entire shares the virtual Data Set, so that only one copy of it exists. This is an optimization strategy. Entire can be costly in MPP environments.

Look at the Missing Column property. It's in the Columns grid.

A hash file is a file for shaping a block of hash. I assume you mean hashed file, which is a mechanism for storing data that demonstrates extremely fast key-based access. These work only in server jobs. Data Sets store partitioned data in parallel job internal format, preserving the sorting and part...

The best folks to suggest these differences authoratitively are those who present the IBM class DX436 (IBM WebSphere DataStage - Advanced Enterprise Edition). There's a whole section in that class about partitioning strategies, which takes a half day to cover (with hands-on labs). That suggests it's...

... but modulus partitioning may be a better choice, as it consumes fewer resources.

Click on the Format button. The indenting will show clearly where you went wrong.

As noted in another thread, what you are trying to do will not work in a before-job subroutine using DSJ.ME as the job handle.

You don't seem to have gotten much out of the message.

Which line in the file should you be looking at?
What should you be looking for it there?
How is NULL represented in this file?
What property of the link should you be changing to address this issue (the issue of missing column)?

It still won't work. "Before-job" is a misnomer; "before-rows" would be a better name. The job is already running when the before-job subroutine is executed. You can only set parameter values externally. For example in a job sequence. There you can do so from user variables, the result of a routine,...

All I meant was make your design easier to read. DSD.RUN is the program that runs server jobs and job sequences, so there's a problem. Given that the most important error is COMMON mismatch and it's being reported by DSSendMail(), I'd suggest that, yes, the problem is in the Notification Activity un...

No, for reason already stated. You can not diagnose problems once you've destroyed the cause. What would you expect your doctor to do if you had a cold, waited till it got better, then went to the doctor seeking a diagnosis? (Actually, there's a professional medical answer to that - "there's a lot o...

Have you taken the training class? Have you asked your support provider, or searched here, for information about the date format expected by the DB2 stage? Have you discussed with your DBA or operating system administrator about the "system" (whatever you mean by that) being full? How much experienc...

The answer is yes, and the answer is Multi Client Manager.

That's a nice vertical pivot, samsuf2002, but the question required a horizontal pivot.
