Have you loaded the DataStage patch for XP sp2 ?

I'd also recommend a separate pair of jobs for each, with an intermediate staging area using text files. These text files can be the data files for the DB2 bulk loader if required. You can start as many of these jobs simultaneously as the system's capacity can bear. Try not to overload the machine, ...

The third-last paragraph in the previous post describes MetaStage without actually naming it.

You can not sensibly perform comparisons with @NULL (the unknown value); the answer can only be "don't know". I have an object in each of my hands. Please answer the following questions. 1. Are they the same? 2. Are they different? 3. Which one is larger? See what I mean? Use the IsNull() function t...

No.

There is a utility called format.conv (or fnuxi - a synonym) that has -import and -export (and other) options for performing exactly this task. Initial information can be obtained by executing the command HELP FORMAT.CONV from a dssh prompt on the server; full information exists only in UniVerse man...

Let's await rtan's answer to the "why" question. Sure it can be done by hacking the Repository tables (not sure yet how to do this via the Metadata Delivery Service in Hawk, though). But this is definitely a high risk "solution" in inexperienced hands. What if the wrong piece is accidentally deleted...

The HTML generated by Generate Report. There is an option for preserving this when executed from the Designer client; presumably this maps to a command option.

What kind of stage is it, and to what kinds of stages does it connect?

Without that information your question is in the "my car doesn't work, what's wrong with it?" category.

DateFromTimestamp() and TimeFromTimestamp() functions seem to be the obvious candidates. You will need a format string if your timestamp does not correspond to your project's default format.

Yes, but it's not DataStage functionality. Probably the easiest way is to create a small message box app that you can run on other computers via the AT command. You can determine which clients are connected by capturing the output of LIST.READU or SELECT * FROM DS_LICENSE; on the server machine.

Ignoring the warning for a moment, is the job otherwise working successfully?

You can't, only the moderator can. Either wait a day or two until he has done so, or begin a new thread there and close this one (just a message noting that the thread is closed will suffice).

Sounds like the objects in which the design are stored were not saved properly. Without specialist knowledge this will be extremely difficult to repair; it may be impossible to repair.

Do you have the job design exported (best) or backed up (second best)?
