Is that all there is to the error message? Best to put the full message here, and sometimes the messages around it, even if you think you've posted the most relevant bit. Where does this error come from, the ODBC lookup or the target SP? If you are using any kind of user-defined SQL in the lookup s...

Yes, you do. Somewhere. Check stage variables (are they in the 5x version?) or Constraint values, those are two good hiding places.

And when you say 'compiling DataStage jobs' do you mean particular jobs or all jobs?

Right on! I almost quoted Clark there but decided you could use the opportunity to bump your post count up.

Thanks Ken. This installation has been in place for 3+ years with alot of activity, so they've definitely noticed the 'can be quite large' part and had to deal with it. And I've tried to pass along the 'normalized child tables are really stored within the parent' concept by comparing it (conceptuall...

Hmmm... I thought those 'SPIN' settings were only applicable on a UNIX server, being most problematic on H-PUX systems in particular.

As noted, please cut-and-paste the entire message so we can see it.

We've been looking at doing some automated reporting from DS_AUDIT, which has exposed my crew to the concept of multi-valued fields for the first time. I figured there was no 'retention period' or purge mechanism built it, especially after going through the contents. They did have a question I wasn'...

...I dont understand why there are so many features missing in DS7.1... :D I've never looked at software improvements that way, I prefer to view it as "look at all the nice things they put in the new version that we didn't have before". Exactly. I certainly hope older version are 'missing' features...

That's the whole point. Why not make suggestions as to what you'd like to see next rather than just crying in your beer? Two points to keep in mind. One - They will take time to put together, so be patient. Secondly - from what I understand - the ultimate audience for these will be the Premium Membe...

I never put Vegemite on steak, though I always carry some. I was KIDDING, knowing that you always carry some as you said. Many less, err... educated... palettes would argue about the flavor 'enhancer' comment. Me, I've never had the pleasure. FYI - My current client, after a merger with another com...

The Director leverages both cron and at on a UNIX system, depending on if the job is scheduled one or a recurring number of times. This is typically a permissions problem - the user doing the scheduling needs to be allowed to use it. This involves being added to both the 'cron.allow' and 'at.allow' ...

Thanks. Still wondering how it all went...

The exclamation point simply means it is missing required information. Your problem of not being able to edit the stage is a known issue on clients running Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed.

You need to log onto the Ascential eServices website and download the patch for this problem.

Few of my jobs got aborted after 50 warning logged. Can you please let me know how to remove this setting. As noted, you will be much better off if you fix your jobs so they don't generate warnings. IMHO, there's no reason under the sun why Server jobs should ever generate warnings, let alone enoug...

I just wanted to know that...in my server edition i do not have a folder stage...so by using XML input, XML transformer, and XML Output can i do this... You have a Folder stage - or you sure should have as it's not one of the optional plug-in stages. Should be under the File section of the Designer...
