VERTICAL pivot would be an even better search. The Pivot stage will accomplish this task for you.

... up to version 7.5.2 at least.

Not specifically in QualityStage, though - like nearly all other applications - it does use buffered writes. But these are supposed to get to disk within one second. And I've never encountered any cache anywhere with the latency you are describing! Are you checking the data, or the date/time modifie...

Ray now on 15000. Posted on the last day of the Information on Demand conference.

Welcome aboard. :D References to job parameters need to be encased in "#" characters, not "%" characters. There is no call command; ExecSH executes a UNIX command directly. Assuming you have execute permission to the script, try /some/script.sh #JOBNAME# If you don't have execute but do have read pe...

They are supported (in parallel jobs at least) in version 8.0. Given that server jobs can also use the new connectors, I would assume that they are supported in server jobs too.

If you open a stage in the Stage Types branch of your repository and open the properties of any stage type (technically what you're now looking at is the definition of the class), you will see that active/passive/other is a property of the stage. Question: how is the FTP stage categorized? Why do yo...

Just for a trial, try making copies of all the jobs then deconstructing the containers, to see if those jobs have the same issue. If they do, you eliminate the fact that it is a shared container from consideration. Please confirm that the shared container contains only a Sequential File stage with a...

I note that this is a parallel job. Is the job monitor running? You won't get statistics at all unless it is.

While it is true that there is a documented Plug-In Stage Writer's Guide it is also true that very few custom plug-in stages have been written in the ten years that DataStage server jobs have been out there. I attribute this to the rich set of functionality available out of the box and the ease with...

Server jobs and parallel jobs (and mainframe jobs and job sequences) all exist in version 8.0. All acquire and update design time metadata in the unified metadata repository via the Metadata Delivery Service. Not certain what you mean by "neglected". The only change to server jobs is entirely invisi...

If they've blocked telnet try using SSH (port #22). You need a telnet client that supports this protocol; puTTY is an excellent one that can be downloaded from the internet.

Are you trying to update the table from which you are selecting, without proper lock management?

Excellent subject line!

What derivations are you using in the Transformer? Does this error occur in every row? Use the debugger or stage tracing to figure out what's happening.
