You might also investigate using the START command in DOS for running your command.

Create a (server?) job to select the max key value and park it somewhere, for example in a file, in that job's user status area. Run this job and your main job from a job sequence. The job sequence picks up the value, and supplies it as a job parameter to your main job. Increment the value in a Tran...

Welcome aboard. :D

It sounds like you might be running your client on Windows XP. There is a specific patch that you need to be able to open Routine activity (and some other controls). Ask your support provider for the Windows XP sp2 patch for DataStage.

Then it's likely to be a network problem of some kind. Get your network administrator to check the NICs can cabling, and network configuration. Otherwise, monitor the network (LAN?) to make sure it's not saturated; if it is, install a dedicated network (separate domain) between the machines in your ...

The Null Field Value property must have the same length as the field to which it applies when the format is fixed-width.

All five parallel jobs will be attempted to be started at 9 o'clock. If you have sufficient system resources, they will all end up in a running state, but remember you will have five conductor processes, 25 section leader processes, and lots of player processes. If you don't have sufficient resource...

Hashed files are not available in parallel jobs.

Provided that it's an updatable view, it should be OK. I suspect you lack privileges to SELECT the system tables in which the database layout is stored. Search the forum for the names of these tables, then involve your DBA to grant these privileges to the user ID that you use to run DataStage jobs.

Yes, but there's no "every hour" setting - you need a separate entry for each time that you want the job to run. If it's already (still) running at any of these times, the new instance will not start.

Good point - though a parallel Routine is not a BuildOp (which is a stage).

There are indeed five different overrides, so five tabs. The choices allow you to intercede at different steps in the analysis (bucketing) process. There's a list of the order of operations in the User's Guide or in the student manual for the QualityStage Essentials class.

Use a Transformer stage to parse the record structure. This can have separate outputs for each of the DB2 tables. There is no need whatsoever for a Link Collector stage.

It is singularly dangerous to do, because the record-level lock taken when you update a record in SDKSequences is recorded in shared memory on the executing machine, so that the other server will be unaware of it, and may engender lost updates. There is no networking software, so you would need to c...
