Welcome aboard. :D

It seems this question is "flavor of the month".

But none of the experts would assay such an approach. There's a perfectly good GUI tool for effecting modifications; it's called DataStage Designer.

Yes. Stop trying to process metadata with a data processing tool.

Hi... I want to export a job in an XML format . And then i want to get each and every property of the job (including meta data information) used in the job in XML inputstage.. After that i want to send it to XML output stage with some modifications. in the transformer stage. when i import the chang...

Your UNIX administrator will be able to tell you whether that is a device that you are not supposed to be using, or part of the file system. To me the name "fstst" suggests "file system test" which in turn suggests that you may not be supposed to be there.

Welcome aboard. :D

This message is being generated by/in the ABAP code. Enlist the help of your SAP R/3 administrators to trace and track what might be causing it.

I presume that you have the GB18030 NLS map built and installed for DataStage.

I am not certain that you need to use the RTI components for DataStage TX, which is what you appear to be doing. If I understand correctly, the RTI components allow you to expose server or parallel jobs as services, thereby implementing a service-oriented architecture. May I suggest posting the same...

Also read the documentation for the DateGeneric... functions in the SDK. The SDK "generic" timestamp lacks delimiters in the date portion - it would not be accepted directly for ODBC. ODBC standards differentiate between date, time and timestamp; if you are loading a timestamp it must have compilant...

No. But it does mean that it has something to do with execution of the join query.

Get your DBA to put a trace on the query and see whether it is being assisted by indexes, etc. If this is a regular requirement there may be scope to index the joining columns.

It's a strange artifact with Windows XP; even though you're using loopback (127.0.0.1), the operating system still requires that the network card be active for TCP activities to succeed. All you have to do is be connected in a network that can serve an address - even though you're not using it! (All...

IBM is offering a one day certification preparation class (US$300) on the registration day at Information on Demand. If you're going this might prove fruitful.

My bad. External_Filter_113 was the name of your External Filter stage. (Do you really have than many stages in a job?!!) Exit status 255 is fairly meaningless. Please describe precisely how you set up the External Filter stage - what you mean by "a sequential file" doesn't make much sense. The outp...

The error message mentioned "convert to timestamp".

Sage words. Heed them.

Technically, of course, every UNIX signal can be generated by a kill command. In this case a process has - as you noted - been forcefully terminated with a SIGKILL signal (kill -9). Yes, the Lookup stage does use scratch space if it needs to. The Lookup stage in normal mode is (generates) a composit...

The only way you can get that is by attempting the exam itself. You can attempt the exam not more than twice in a month and not more than three times in 90 days. You are not permitted to take notes (other than mental notes) during the exam. There is no guarantee that you will get the same questions ...
