The "blah-CS" maps are for client/server communication. Can you try setting the map in the Sequential File stage to an appropriate UNIX map for Arabic? (If your server were a Windows server, the appropriate map would be MS1256-WIN2K; however, the Microsoft code pages are not appropriate for UNIX ser...

Can you be a little more specific about the nature of the problem? Can you also advise the NLS parameter values from uvconfig, from the project (as set in Administrator) and from the job itself, in particular in the Sequential File stage?

On re-reading, I notice you are trying to install MetaStage 1.x. This is quite old now. Version 2.x is current. As I noted earlier, you may need to involve your support provider here to try to ascertain which Java class's absence is preventing JVM from loading.

That may - probably will - prove to be insufficient. I believe Ascential/IBM recommend not less than 1GB, personally I'd say not less than 2GB to run MetaStage in any sensible fashion. You may need to get help from your support provider to determine which Java class is not registered and is thus pre...

Ignore all them, Li, and welcome aboard. There are some more things we need to know before we can offer much help. For example what stages does your job use? What happens within your Transformer stage? There is a warning about no reject Data Set; are you reading from a Sequential File with no reject...

There are, of course, other schedulers than CA7 available for OS/390. But what lstsaur says about CA7 applies equally to these.

Thanks for posting the solution. How did you discover that these fields had not been populated? Perhaps showing it to a colleague? The error message itself is interesting - is SAP_IDG_ALEAUD01_IDOC_corrupted a DataStage job, a SAP job, or some other kind of object?

There is another forum on this site, or you can lodge an enhancement request through your support provider. Personally, I believe in maintaining control always; not to rely on the checkpoint-based restart mechanism except in very rare cases. That way I can generate my own restart capability that mig...
