Etiquette Note Please don't "shout" (use all upper case), as it is offensive. I do not have the benefit of being able to see what you're doing, so am perforce obliged to ask questions in what I believe to be a systematic diagnostic process. If you would like me to visit your site to diagnose the pr...

I don't, but everyone in IBM can find everyone else. Get your local rep to find Bob for you. (I am not an IBM employee, so don't have access to their internal systems. And Bob had run out of business cards at IOD.)

It's in the earlier posts - multiple Data Set stages feeding through a Funnel stage to bring them together.

Doesn't matter what the actual values are. I'm sure A,B,C,D was just an example. You can hard code any string value such as "ItemNo,ItemClass,PkgType,PkgQty" Unfortunately in this case it will require 83 comma-delimited fields. On the up side, it will only need to be constructed once. Copy...

Probably something missed updating the status file in the repository. This is one of those cases where Clear Status File (from Director) might be indicated.

It's not an error, it's a warning. DataStage alerts you to any unusual event via a message with warning severity. This event is unusual; you needed to know that you didn't have a hashed file called SDKSequences and now you do (in case, for example, you micromanage your disk space).

Did you create a user DSN or a system DSN? User DSNs are not selected by the client software.

I misunderstood - I thought you wanted to read "a bunch of files" as if it were a Data Set. Now I understand that you want to read "a bunch of Data Sets". This is not possible, and kinda defeats the purpose of Data Set, which is already a parallel structure. Why not simply append all sources to a si...

What error message (precisely) is logged?

Generate a new column containing the column names (destined for COL_NAME) as a constant using a Cycle Generator with just one value.

Has anyone attempted the test (Test #416)? If so, please post your impressions of it.

Could the latency be in your checking tool (UltraEdit?) left open?

If not, it's probably time to involve your system administrator and your support provider.

Well it wouldn't be a Data Set (which uses internal, binary, forms for numeric data), but it might be a File Set. You can craft a File Set control file containing the pathnames of the actual files (which require identical record structure, and probably no "first line is column names") and a record s...

It's generated because Oracle does not have a true INTEGER data type, and converted your INTEGER specification in CREATE TABLE to NUMBER(38) or - in your particular case - because the default size of NUMBER is 38. But your job design takes this and tries to import it into an int32 (specified in your...

Version Control is not supported - and does not work - at version 8.0. This is because it interacts with the old style repository. IBM is investigating alternatives, including interaction with utilities such as ClearCase.
