/H is the Host aka Server name so do not include that again with the Project name.

Code: Select all

dscmdimport /D ux17 /U dsuser /P welcome1 /H ux17 /NUA mts_datastage C:\Documents and Settings\kshitijaJambhulkar\My Documents\DSJobs\Test\FIMSJBPII211.dsx

No clue what /D is, perhaps it's new with 8.x. :?

XMS or XML? You've mentioned both, which is it? :?

Assuming you can trust what was posted, which seems to be hand-typed based on the misspelling of "returened". :?

Ah... like I said, been waaaay too long since I've done anything at the DOS level but now that you say it I do recall you need to check ERRORLEVEL in descending order. :)

No clue about your DB2 specifics, but understand that a job must abort for any rollback of uncommitted records to happen.

Excellent. Picking the correct 'key' aka repetition element is a little bit of a Black Art, it seems. Well, except for Ernie I imagine. :wink:

I had a conversation with DBA, the Oracle Default Date format is MM/DD/YYYY and when using TO_DATE() in custom sql the data is populated into target table with data type DATE. Never worry about what the 'default date' (NLS_DATE) format is. When you use TO_DATE() all that matters is that your mask/p...

There's no handle you can access unless you establish one, so returning the name of the controlling job seems per...

Keep in mind the fact that, with that option, you'll never get a zero return code for a successful job run but instead it will return a 1. And a 2 if the job finishes with warnings, a 3 if aborted, etc etc. Not that that's a bad thing, just something that needed to be clarified. No clue, however, if...

Re: Error while writing to Seq file

This is not an error writing to a sequential file, this is an error reading one. Why not post a sample of your incoming data?
