I recently reported a problem in the job 'upgrade' mechanism to Ascential that was discovered during our recent upgrade from 7.0.1 to 7.5.1A. They have been able to reproduce and correct it, too late for us but I'm hoping it may help others avoid the issue. It's not anything horrible, or terribly ha...

It's also a 'trick' fraught with peril as hashed files are metadata driven. You better be 'dropping' trailing keys or columns or you could be in for a rude surprise!

What options have you enabled in the Sequence job properties? Are you telling it to 'Automatically handle activities that fail'? If so, that is one of the ways that it 'handles' it. Either turn that off or make it think you are handling it by running two triggers from the Job Activity stage to a Seq...

Do you guys skip over all the previous replies when you reply to a thread? Just wondering as you've both basically just gone over ground we've already covered.

Hey, you never know! There is a forum for enhancement requests, so I was wondering if maybe this landed here by accident. And since you really didn't ask anything like a question that I could see... I can say that I've never tried this before. You are probably running into the same issue that doesn'...

You've already posted this twice - why post it yet again with a different Subject? Sheesh...

First you need to decide what 'encrypt' means, how secure or complex it needs to be, etc etc. Then you can see how you can achieve that in DataStage. If you use your own code, you can build custom encrypt and decrypt routines or objects that you can call from inside the job. Other than that, you'll ...

Ross, is this an... enhancement request?

The 'Wait For File' stage does not support wildcards, as far as I know.
