If you have genuine UniVerse (not DataStage) you can set up ODBC access to it. I have also used an External Source stage to get data out of UniVerse into a parallel job.

Basically it's the number of node definitions. Your configuration file has six, so the documentation at its head is incorrect. stage01_node1 stage02_node1 bdwux201 bdwux202 bdwux203 bdwux204 The first two are on machines etlux201 and etlux202 respectively, the remaining four are on machines bdwux201...

 cd C:\Ascential\DataStage\Engine

At the operating system prompt execute the command

oerr ORA 01410

This will not only decode the code, but may also recommend remedial action that you can take.

Whatever replacement date value you give must correspond exactly to the date picture currectly specified for the job, unless you override that with a formatting option (for example in the handle_null() specification in a Modify stage).

This is a known bug in 7.1 and later. Alas I don't have the ecase number, nor can I recall the particular circumstances under which it occurs.

sqlldr not found indicates that your ORACLE_HOME (or ORACLE_BIN, if you have it) or PATH environment variable is not set in your new environment so as to be able to find the sqlldr executable, or that you lack execute permission to one or more of the directories in its pathname.

You may be the Administrator, but are you the DBA?

Code: Select all

SELECT * FROM UV_USERS WHERE DBAAUTH = 'YES';
