DSXchange

So, you've already switched those values so it logs back to the "old" RT_LOG tables rather than into XMETA. You'll need to ping your official support provider to see what you can do for that, I'm not aware of any reason for that to have changed.

Make sure you tell it not to add anything to the file - quotes in particular.

What are RTLogging and ORLogging set to in your DSParams file?

If the issue is allegedly resolved in 8.1 and you're not finding that to be the case, best to go back to IBM / your official support provider for that. Sounds like you've done everything anyone here could suggest. As for the mystery APT variable, no need to find it - simply create it and see if it c...

Files? Sure. Did you perhaps mean input links? And as noted, how to create / use them is fully documented in the pdf files that come with the product.

A little lost on exactly what it is you are doing... can you explain how it is you are finding / replacing / calculating the length of EXT_EMT, please? The more details the better.

Yah... some kind of auto matching or propagation option would be nice, wouldn't it.

Neither the Server nor Client portions are supported on Windows 7. FYI.

Welcome. I do not believe that an external SMTP client / host would be accessable from DataStage. Perhaps there's a way to get it the information it clearly lacks (environment variables?) but I don't know the answer, perhaps a question sent the way of your official support provider would be prudent....

Is this XML you are parsing? If so, it should be handling it automatically.

That's a question you'd need to ask your official support provider. Perhaps that's something that has been patched.

You need to determine how the kernel and user settings differ between dev/test and prod. Or perhaps your uvconfig settings - something is different and the fix may be quite simple once you identify the culprit.

And 7.1? Get thee upgraded to 7.5.3!

That's certainly one way, it might be helpful to know how you need to use this count to see if there is a "better" way.

Are you sure? I can't check any more and it's not always documented well or at all but there is some kind of secret syntax that it uses (that I don't recall off the top of my head) that might be worth a shot. [shrug]

I'm curious what kind of "reading" you were expected to do, if you don't mind me asking.
