I've seen the same behaviour on a 7.5.1A server where it would sometimes just refuse to import routines if that was all that was in the export file. I don't remember if there was a resolution or not, I think what I ended up having to do was include at least one job in the mix. It definitely smelled ...

Specifically wondering how exactly it works when multiple auth codes are out in the wild with different concurrent user limits. What I was asked (that I didn't know the answer) was this - is the client's concurrent limit checked against the group of people connected with the same serial number only ...

At the file level? Not directly, no. This is where you would leverage your operating system, something easily incorporated into a DataStage job stream using a Sequence job, however.

Apparently, yes, if your assertions regarding the data source and all else being the same are indeed correct. No clue why but that's where I'd start.

These two projects... they are on two separate servers I would wager, yes? Something is different between the two, problem is going to be tracking it down. O/S patches? Environment variable settings?

Right, whomever gave you that requirement should also be able to tell you how you would calculate that 'checksum' value in your organization. Hopefully some sort of command line utility, easily scripted.

As noted by Ray - rather than giving up hope, banging head against wall and waiting for those occasions that we post, do involve your official support provider - after all, you're paying them to support you.

You can't. You can, however, upload them to any of the many free file hosting sites and then link to them in your post using the [img] or "image" tags.

ICONV(TRIM(INPUT_COLUMN[1,6]),"D4YMD[4,2,2]") is one problem. Now you are pulling 6 but telling IConv it is 8 all together. And Kryt0n already pointed out your delimiter issue. Try this instead:

ICONV(INPUT_COLUMN[1,6],"DYMD[2,2,2]")

If you mean by using the FTP stage then no, stick with command line ftp for that.

Inconceivable! Think? "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Except the numbers aren't what they need from the filename.

Oh... err... <twitch> I thought there was a way to reference just the value of the counter itself. Guess that must be another false memory implanted by my therapist. [sigh]

I'm assuming the output should actually end up as:

a xyzpgryrd

Yes?

Which exact 8.x version are you running? 8.1 defaults to storing the job logs in the XMETA database from what I recall, but there's a "logging" ini parameter you can change to switch it back to the "Universe" repository. Don't recall the exact name, though. That should help. For ...
