DSXchange

Guessing we need to wait for Ernie but I'll also ask... can you call them, meaning the services?

There's a 'Print to file' option.

I would imagine they'd still show as running in Director if they were, unless that's changed in 8.x. Are these 'always on' services?

ETLStats if you need to do that for any given day, i.e. over and over again. Stick with your Director trick for a "one off".

Of course.

Ray, Smay. Phooey.

I've done that myself many times. And yes, can definitely have something to do with performance.

Define "between". If the DRS stage loads the Hashed File and then the job references the Hashed File there's nothing inherently silly about that.

... Link Collector, me thinks.

I've always come from a "zero tolerance" world, one where no warnings were allowed and were thus equated to an abort, so never had a need to even consider anything like this. That and have had the luxury of bringing a full-fledged Sequence replacement "Job Control Utility" courte...

I don't have any kind of access but it shouldn't be all that hard to find in the stage... should mention something about 'closing tags'.

Sorry, but isn't the answer pretty obvious from their names?

What exactly does your script do... besides run the job, of course.

Not sure this is possible 'out of the box'.

So... you want it to stop when there is an Abort or Warnings in jobs but not rerun jobs with only Warnings on restart? Hmmm... you may need to write your own checkpointing for this.

Ummm... not "garbage" characters but Field Marks as in the @FM character you used Field() to strip from the strings. It's important to understand both what they are and why they are there, all of those @ "marks" are some of the fundamental underpinnings of DataStage.
