Is this a DataStage TX question?

Did you get the requirements from the IBM website?

Since you have posted in the server forum I feel obliged to point out that there is NO CERTIFICATION for server edition.

All Windows, with PSDB, Analysis Server and Message Switch on one box (though I have some flexibility in this). The PSDB is Oracle 10g (which IS supported). Servers are Windows 2003 Server, clients Windows XP pro with sp1.
Will see what happens with the install CD. I have all the documents.

No. .NET is a Windows-only phenomenon. You have specified running DataStage on UNIX. Therefore you can not use any .NET programming. DataStage on Windows platforms can invoke functions exposed via COM objects, but I do not believe there is anything more flexible than that to take any advantage of th...

As well as 1(a) they specify the ordinal number of the operator, and of the partition number on which it exectued. Yes, largely informational. Could be important in troubleshooting if one node runs out of resources.

So much for a basic requirement. Now, how about a detailed specification? What do you want to supply, and how do you need that to be interpreted? Precisely.

I don't believe MySQL is supported by MetaStage. Check on the vendor's web site.

Client-only ProfileStage. After entering login ID and password and DSN, a message box titled "Cannot Continue" pops up, containing the following text. The Message Switch configuration information (host name and port number) was not found in the repository. Please correct this and try again. Does any...

You don't have a parallel job containing job control routine - there is no such thing. You may have a server job containing job control routine. What do you mean by "pass"? For example you could pass a delimited list of pathnames as a single job parameter. You could have the job control code scan a ...

1) No.

2) Yes. You can create a User Variables activity (provided you are on version 7.5 or later). You still need to get these variables' values from somewhere. Perhaps an Execute Command activity executing a wc -l command?

There exists a script on the CD using which one can create the PSDB manually. Where X: is the drive letter for the CD look for
X:\ProfileStage\sql\Oracle for CreateOraclePSDB.cmd (but first read the _readme.txt file!).

Doesn't solve the original problem, but does get the PSDB installed.

Knowledge has already been shared, as a Search will reveal.

You don't overcome it. You prevent it.

Make sure that the scratch disk mentioned in your configuration file has more than enough space. If not, add more scratch disk (on other file systems!) to each processing node.
