Was it the thought of beer?

My initial concern is to gather expressions of interest for running the Server to Parallel Transition Lab in this part of the world.

In case anyone is wondering, 1 is mainframe job.

Do you have any not-fully-additive facts? You will find that these are very difficult to maintain with DataStage, but that's better than the impossible with materialized views.

Simplified. Highly simplified. But gets the idea across satisfactorily.

DataStage is not a tool for producing reports.

Where could be the difference among this server and all others (my Lab and the environments from other posters)? It's easier for you to answer that question than for us to - we don't have access to your environments. I'd be looking first at differences in how the Oracle client software (particularl...

That is true, but imho whoever designed a table that allows NULL as a key needs some reminding about sensible database design techniques.

Array size is more relevant when the OCI stage has input link. It's then where the array is a parameter array that better use may be made of transmission channels.

Only by changing the rules of arithmetic so that 30 is a whole divisor of 65.

Leave it as VarChar; make the Display Width double the Precision. Change the Derivation of the column to CAST(column AS VARCHAR2(precision))

The reseller from which your client purchased DataStage should also be able to supply technical information about, and technical presentations of, the other products in the suite.

Have you read about each option in online help or in the manual (Director Guide (dsopsgde.pdf) )?

It would be nice to know what kind of "intermittent problems" have been observed when the job monitor was executing at an interval of too few rows. I can't see that "unexpected termination" of a single player process would be caused by the job monitor. I'd be more likely to suspect totally exhaustin...

Get your user ID granted privilege in Informix to create temporary tables. These are used to hold result sets that are too large to hold in memory.

How about

Hopefully the arithmetic will perform a legal implicit CAST.
