DSXchange

You hire an experienced, competent consultant. It's safest. Such a consultant will mentor you so that you will acquire the skills for next time.

Plus you need to lock for updates so that no lost updates will occur to the hashed file.

Did you search for answers to this question? I posted exactly this advice in the past week.

In a word, "more".

The vendor publishes recommended and minimum specifications for different platforms. More is better, because - over time - the volume of data you process grows and grows.

In general it is cheaper to over-configure now than to increment later.

They both sort data if configured correctly. "Performance issue" is, more than anything, a matter of expectations. To determine which completes more quickly you can create jobs that use both methods, but remember to be fair - allow for cache effects (ideally re-boot server between tests), and sort m...

I suspect that the problem is not with dsjob itself - which has exactly the same syntax - but with all the other things you can do with a UNIX shell script. BAT files are much more limited. If you have MKS toolkit or cygwin or one of the other UNIX-on-Windows tools, you can continue to use shell scr...

Was it created as a read-only routine by Version Control? If so, you can happily overwrite it with Version Control.

Otherwise, do a search here for READONLY (the name of the column in the repository table DS_ROUTINES that you will need to update in the production environment).

DSWaitForFile is a function, not a subroutine, so you would not use Call. Instead, you need a DEFFUN declaration. This is in the JOBCONTROL.H header file, so put at the top of your routine $IFNDEF JOBCONTROL.H $INCLUDE DSINCLUDE JOBCONTROL.H $ENDIF You should be able to find a routine called CommonI...

Do you need to combine these data in any way? That will radically affect any answer to the question.

Hawk still has server jobs (BASIC based), parallel jobs (osh based) and mainframe jobs (COBOL based). As Roy posted, the main thrust of Hawk is the common repository - and better integration (at least according to the marketing folks) - of the whole range of products. There's also an fully customiza...

Summary of Technique In a before-stage routine initialize a string to Str("0",100000) then populate any position in the string with 1 if that position corresponds with a valid country code. For example ValidCodes[966,1] = "1". (You could also do this with a DataStage job that reads the table and ass...

This exact question has been answered in the past.

It's true that Oconv() and Iconv() are not available in parallel jobs, unless you use a BASIC Transformer stage.

Include "century" in your search terms.

Explicitly handle the error in a job sequence. If you explicitly handle the error, then the automatic handling does not kick in.

Use dynamic because the "table space management" is automatic.

Search is your friend. At least two have been posted.

Time zones! I like to sleep occasionally.
