Give your clients a list of the ASCII7 characters, with the advice that their decision means that these are the only characters that can be processed.

Surely the scratch area is the location of the itch.

It's a memory issue on the client, not on the server (to which commands like shmtest relate). Close some other windows.

Use a constraint expression in a Transformer stage or a Filter stage that does not pass ename='abc'

The explanation in the manuals, particularly the installation and administration manuals, is reasonably clear. DataStage is one of many products making up the IBM InfoSphere Information Server suite, so it's a bit unreasonable to talk about the architecture of DataStage as if it were still a stand-a...

Based on your research so far, what do YOU believe to be the significance of scratch area?

Is this an interview question?

Try using CHR() rather than CHAR() in the REPLACE() function.

I just scheduled four jobs for the same time from the DataStage Director. To the nearest minute (that is, as far as anyone could tell by looking at Director) they all started at the same time and they all ran concurrently.

Unless you have a multi-threaded scheduler you're never going to get more than one job to start at precisely the same time. It really doesn't matter anyway, because of variability in job startup times. It's enough to have them start very close together. The easiest way to do this is to schedule them...

We have a need for a reasonably experienced DataStage developer to work in Canberra (Australia). Must have a DSA security clearance of Confidential or higher. Site is currently making the transition from version 8.1 to 8.5. Job types are parallel and sequence. Most Information Server tools are in th...

You really need to study partitioning in greater depth. The alert message can safely be ignored (for example demoted to Informational using a message handler). Entire partitioning uses shared memory on SMP architecture; the alert message is telling you that that can't happen because Entire is not th...

I could give a parallel job answer, since you posted it in the parallel jobs forum. However your mention of a Link Collector suggests server job, and this is how you marked the job type. Seems to me that this could be solved with three links each with its own counting Aggregator stage. One link hand...

A Google search for "execute XMLA file" returned over 20,000 hits. Surely one of these will have your answer!

Perhaps you could post an example of what you mean?

The projectname&!DS.ADMIN!& locks are taken on a non-existent record. Note that the lock type is "RL" - that is, it's a shared lock. The purpose of this lock is to indicate that there is a connected client; some administrator tools require exclusive access to the project, and check...
