Just enabling multinstance is not enough, you need to call the sequence with a different name. If your instance is called "TestSequence" then you need to call it with names like "TestSequence.Instance1" and "TestSequence.pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis"

No, it seems not. But you can use the DSGet...() routines from a DataStage job to create exactly the type of log file you want; you can call this job using the dsjob command and then parse the output file as desired.

It is likely that you aren't missing anything, the -wave is probably a new option at Version 8.

At Version 8 with a windows installation the installation guide states:

Avoid installing IBM Information Server on systems that have versions of the MKS toolkit installed. The engine layer of IBM Information Server installs a version of the MKS toolkit.

MKS Software is a good start.

mystuff - as you've already guessed, the dsjob -logsum command will not let you filter the output; which is why jdmiceli suggested an alternate method. I don't have a version of 7 to play with, but I think you might be able to use dsjob -jobinfo to get the message number or start date or wave number...

Shivadas - what do you mean you don't know how to get the LINE_MAX?
I just posted instructions on how you can see your setting.

You won't find it using echo. Look into your file /usr/include/sys/limits.h and search for the assignment of LINE_MAX

You don't have your c++ compiler set up or installed in your second environment.

I'm not sure if that is a DS limitation. What UNIX platform are you on and have you checked to see what your LINE_MAX setting might be?

Have you done both "ulimit -Sa" and "ulimit -Ha"? Also, have you tried "ulimit -Ss 2147483647"?

a) get more memory, CPUs and faster disks

b) write better jobs

Surprisingly enough, a search for "The Connection has timed out(81015)" resulted in 9 distinct threads being returned. So to answer your question, yes, several people have had the same problem before.

The folder stage isn't required, as you can use wildcards in the sequential file stage.
