The Sequential File stage on a remote server location? No can do unless it's also mounted locally in some fashion but then you wouldn't need ftp.

You're going to have to script this, as far as I know. Connect to the remote server via ftp and then issue a 'dir' command. Using DSExecute() from a routine to run the 'ftp script' will capture the filenames in a dynamic array which you can then loop through.

That won't stop anyone from logging on, just keep them from doing much with the jobs while there. Do you actually need DataStage up for this "patch/fix"? With earlier versions, I think you'd just need to disable dsrpcd to stop client connections but in 8.x? No clue.

Hopefully someone knows.

"dsdesign.exe" on a Client machine can print a bitmap of any job's canvas: dsdesign.exe /H=%Host% /U=%User% /P=%Password% /SaveAsBmp=%BitmapDir%\%Jobname%.bmp %Project% %Jobname% No clue, however, if it will include the job statistics or not. I suspect not but give it a shot. From what I recall, Kim...

No. "Do not checkpoint" means you want the activity to always run regardless of the checkpoint status. It was mentioned as a Thing To Not Do.

Two things. First LOGTO YourProject then execute PTERM CASE NOINVERT to stop a paste from inverting the case, then paste the command as posted to the command line.

OK... so when "restartable" it will automatically restart from the failed job when you run it again - unless you reset the Sequence first or have enabled the 'do not checkpoint' option.

Yikes. So... you, manually, need to get a snapshot of *every* job after *every* time it runs? If true, then it sucks to be you. :P

Correct your syntax to match what DataStage is doing. The "-t" option tells sendmail to look for the "to:" line in the contents rather than take it from the command line like you are trying to do and, since it couldn't find it, that sent it straight out to pasture on the deal letter farm. Follow th...

:? Lost. Sure, you can manually go back, right-click on the canvas and 'Show performance statistics' but I can't imagine that's really what you want. Why not use the job's log for the audit?

[sigh] "Aborted" or "Aborted/Restartable"? They are not the same.

Then something changed a few days back, probably a SysAdmin / UNIX change. Can you use 'sendmail' from the command line outside of DataStage? I'd suggest you take this problem and the text you just posted to your System Administrators and ask them for their help.

There's only about a billion posts on the subject of transformer compiler errors. Post the errors/warnings/etc that were generated.

Reread what I posted. The Sequence job itself must abort when any Job Activity aborts for this to work. Did that happen? Did the Sequence show as "Aborted/Restartable"?
