The VOCabulary hashed file is a very critical part of the "uniVerse" database that supports every DataStage project. It tracks a lot of critical pieces required in a working DataStage project. The top reasons you can't open VOC file are: - Someone deleted it (Very bad!) - Operating System ...

You didn't answer one of my questions - have you used this option before in another job?

I'd recommend proceed to step 4...

The "Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException" message seems to indicate that something didn't install correctly.

I'd say it is time to open a ticket...

When Franklin said "Map it to the copybook" I believe he meant FIX the copybook to make it reflect reality. Then use the Complex Flat File stage to read the data using the new copybook. You will probably need assistance from a COBOL programmer on the mainframe to help you do that, but it c...

Also check the exact release of both Information Server and Oracle and insure they are compatible. For example, Oracle 12c, Release 2 is only certified on Information Server 11.7 or higher. You can check the IIS requirements web page, be sure to check the "notes" icon as it will specify li...

Hmm - I've used the stage a lot and never had that happen, so I don't recognize the error. It looks like it can't find the properties file in WebSphere that supports that option. Have you used that option on any other jobs? Since I can't give you specific recommendations, let's try a shotgun approac...

Ray - is it in Passport Advantage now?

The Snowflake Connector has only been out for a few months on the latest release of Information Server (11.7). At this point you are probably one of the first customers working on a deployment. I'm just letting you know there's a low probability of getting assistance from someone with "hands-on...

The answer isn't simple. Information Analyzer uses several components including the XMETA repository and the IADB. You can start with this link: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSZJPZ_11.7.0/com.ibm.swg.im.iis.found.admin.burest.doc/topics/t_admin_backup_restore_super.html Are you try...

The error was misleading. We had several problems that apparently combined to confuse the situation. The C routine had arguments that were unsigned char* and the parallel routine definition only supported char* . The same mismatch occurred for the return value. We used casting in the C routine to sw...

We're working on a custom transformer routine that calls a custom C++ function. The C++ function has been compiled with the same compiler options as DataStage. We've got the lib path in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and in also put in the source and include paths just in case. The DataStage job fails at runt...

I would recommend doing the purge in very small chunks initially to determine timings / impact. The admin at a previous site initially kicked it off to purge an entire month and the purge process not only killed the system performance, it took forever to complete. We changed it to purge a day at a t...

Because you have not identified what kind of "junk" you are getting - my best guess is that your project is still using the default value 0x0 (Hex 0) for padding CHAR fields. CHAR fields are always automatically padded to their max length. Your job is probably using the default value from ...

I know I'm resurrecting an old thread, but just encountered this, and it IS now documented. The checksum stage does use MD5, but unfortunately the checksum stage changes the data being hashed without telling you so that it won't match an externally generated hash value unless they also add pipes to ...

Information Integrator was an old DB2 product that is now re-branded / renamed as part of WebSphere...

As far as I know, it is completely unrelated to DataStage licensing and DataStage connectors.
