DSXchange

See if you can find the IBM class (I think it's DX337) that covers DataStage Administration for version 7.

Your Sequential File stage used for writing does not have Null Field Value property in the Format or Columns tab, but your design includes at least one column marked as nullable.

Write failure from DSR.ADMIN is almost always caused by the executing user not having write permission to one of the files in the project, typically this is the DSParams file.

Some of the early gramophone disks are a bit scratchy. Particularly the shellac disks and the 78rpm ones.

This information also appears in the status bar when you're selecting objects to be exported. "Read only" objects are those that are installed into every project, such as stage types and example routines and table definition. By default they're not included in any export to keep the export...

Data are stored in Data Sets in the same way that they are stored in memory (the operator to read or write a Data Set is copy ). Details are not specifically in the public domain but may be inferred from information in Chapter 2 of the Parallel Job Developer's Guide and in the DataStage Programmer's...

There is NOTHING that will cause VOC etc to be "deleted automatically". Start by finding what's deleting them. Then prevent that from happening. After that, post back that you're ready to progress.

There's quite a few large, but non-grid, sites out there. Are you interested in these too?

Version 8 not only gives you the session ID that owns the lock, but also allows you to open the job design read-only while it's still locked for editing by the other user.

You seem a little confused about how to invoke multi-instance jobs. "StartJob", for example, is a constant. Also, the invocation ID follows, rather than precedes the job name. Best practice is to determine the sequence's invocation ID (probably in a routine activity) and pass that to the J...

My guess is that it would read the entire line into the first field, if there are no commas in the line but your metadata prescribe comma as the field delimiter.

Sorting order under NLS is governed by the COLLATE category of the locale.

I'm sure they'd post it if they do, next time they log in.

You don't need to set a pointer to UV VOC. You should always reinstate records into VOC from NEWACC.
