I'll wager 'JCS' simply translates to a shell script.

Search your pdf documentation for $PROJDEF, you'll find it discussed in at least three of the manuals.

Please answer the question that was asked. What is the default value of this parameter in the job... $PROJDEF?

From an email question: Hi Mr Chulett Do you know the contact details or url of Ken Bland's utility? Please email me, if you know how to download the utility. As noted earlier, from his website: m You'll need to request a password first. Once you have access, you can download the KBA Job Control Uti...

Then there's no bug to worry about. Explain exactly how you 'added these variable' and what the default value is in the job... $PROJDEF?

What exact 7.x version? Versions earlier than 7.5.x did not work properly in that regard, needing jobs to be recompiled to recognize a change from what I remember.

Actually, in asking around at my client, I feel like I've stumbled into some sort of secret religious war. Yes, there are some people proposing this and it is being violently opposed by the SOAP contingent.

At a high level - nothing. All 'import metadata'. The difference is whether you use a generic or native stage to do the dirty work. Allegedly, you'll get 'better' or more accurate metadata if you use a native plug-in. Either way will get you the basics, column names and data types. And you can alway...

Welcome. Please expand on your question. What exactly are you doing / planning / considering? Do you currently have DataStage running on a Windows server and will be migrating everything to a UNIX-based server? Search should turn things up with the right keywords as this (if 'this' is indeed your 't...

What I see.. no timeouts, but long submittal periods. If I click on 'Submit' for a new post, and it takes longer than a second or two I know I'm in trouble. Several times recently the 'Submit' status bar entry has taken 60 or 90 seconds to complete its journey from left to right, and when it does th...
