Indeed. It's the cognitive era at IBM!

Job Sequencer is unfortunately very limited in its capabilities. It is recommended to build a Basic routine using job control to achieve this more precisely for your needs.

Please feel free to peruse your IIS documentation for instructions. One example link:

Craig is correct. We continue to support the Stored Procedure stage, even in 11.5, even though it's a dscapiop operator, not a pxbridge operator. To confirm to the administrator, here's the link to the documentation for the Stored Procedure stage for 11.5: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/...

Forgot to include reference link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Named_pipe Basically this is something we use quite extensively within DataStage. If you do not want them in the /tmp directory, set your $TMPDIR folder to a preferred folder. A lot of named pipes are created there. If they are not bein...

They are probably named pipes.

You need to upgrade to 11.3.1.2 with the latest patch or 11.5 in order to get this feature.

We added this based on a customer's complaint recently. I do not have the specific APAR handy at the moment, but did discuss this in a recent ticket.

I already answered this in your ticket to IBM Support.

Yeah, remember, the datasets are usually maintained by a third party for each individual countries. So definitely ask for a demo/POC of this if your company is interested in taking advantage of this feature.

That's quite understandable, but what is "on"? What is "off"? 1? 0? Yes? No? True? False? Hai? Iie? Our products are used worldwide, so it is far easier to explain, "unset it", then it is to set a value that only an English speaker may understand. If you look closely at...

We actually dislike this kind of support tickets. "It failed, and then work again, do our work for us!" Get a consultant to help diagnosis the system issue, if you do not have the appropriate resource that is skilled enough to do an evaluation of your server. Do not lean on IBM Support wit...

Be careful when setting an environment variable, especially for PX Engine's APT_ variables. We use "isDefined()" internally to determine if it is actually defined, regardless of the value provided, for the vast majority of those environment variables. So if you set "" as a value,...

This is most likely Outlook's fault. I have seen the same thing where a formatted e-mail in a different mail program (i.e. Notes) does not look properly formatted in Outlook.

Try a different mail program.

Correct. Think about it this way: The job sequencer is a process that have its own environment defined in general based on the system, THEN the project level, then the job itself. The job is a separate process that have its own environment defined in general, once again based on system, project, and...

Use a generic stage, and use the abort operator.

Define $APT_ORCHHOME, $APT_CONFIG_FILE, source DSEngine\dsenv, and include $APT_ORCHHOME/bin in your PATH, and do the following command:

osh -fullusage abort
