Does QS plugin require re-install on the server side when we add more projects?

I 'd recommend highly against changing the ABAP query. Some time, or two consultants down the road that will get lost completely. On the other hand LIKE works just fine..

Do you have to take a look at the file from Qs?

Saad, I may look like busting your chops on this, but your client is guilty as charged. More and more we are seing people with their attitude. If they wanted to do the data quality work on QS, they they should have hired the QS people or Ascential professional services. It's a long painful subject a...

Nope.. Nothing is overwriting it..
"They" are taking a look at it.. During the process "they" found out that "they" are not able to import an IMF exported from 7.0.1 into 7.5

The only thing I can suggest is that you check the datafile definition for the output file, to ensure that the HN column is not being overwritten by some other column. That is, check that the start and length of every field are correct. My suspicion is that you are (accidentally) overwriting the HN...

Saad, are you working with Ascential on this? Have you or the company that you work with taken any courses on QS? Or are you even hired as a QS expert ? I have seen many cases where people put QS on their resumes, get on the contracts because they get rock bottom rates, as low as $25/hr by under cut...

Ray,
more power to you..

I have a very straight forward QS UNDUP match process that takes one input file coming out of a Geomatch and dedupes the results. During the production runs for some reason the result file loses the House number and the house num suffix. So anything that comes in like 123 Main St. ends up being <bla...

I overlooked that one.. I though he was interested in deduping the stuff..

Thanks for the reality check Ray :D

Can anyone forward me a copy of this document? I do have access to Ascential Developernet but their link is broken and has been broken for some time.

I am pitching the upgrade to the client, but I have to tell them what 's in for them first

Thanks..

Use UNDUP as the option at Match stage.

Besides hiring a consultant that knows what to do and how to do it, I'd recommend making things as homogeneous as possible <b> before </b> you feed the data to QS. Gathering data from different layouts and bringing them in to QS is an easy task for DataStage. Use that to the most of your abilities. ...

rob, the plugin should be provided to you by Ascential. Most of the questions you asked have straight forward answers in the release notes and PDF documents. Contact your tech support/sales rep if you don't have the plug in... Later on, you can come back to this forum and get help in terms of the th...

make \tmp\ \temp\ that should solve the problem.. If not, come back to us and see what we can come up with..
