With the value 1080019000000000000 you have achieved a arithmetic underflow. Research the term "twos complement" to see why.

Currently we are handling the basic- routine but going forward we wont use server jobs and basic routines. Why ever not? BASIC routines are going to be around for sequences (the routine called from a Routine activity is a BASIC routine). And that makes it really easy to obtain the file timestamps (...

Yes it does. analyze.shm, smat, semaphore_status and list_readu all share the same executable.

(And I mean the Windows version. Some AIX versions also don't support these commands.)

1. Not correct, though the DS_CONNECT test utility is used from this environment. 2. Once you've invoked DS_CONNECT successfully you are acting as a client to the ODBC-connected database, so can enter SQL statements that are legal for that environment. (Use the .Q command to exit from DS_CONNECT.) 3...

I am not aware of any method for updating the encrypted password values in Values Files of Parameter Sets without using DataStage. At least not legally. You could have passwords stored en clair but in Values Files with 700 permissions and only the owner permitted to update them. I have seen this app...

You don't get input or output tabs until you draw links that connect to the stage. It's not clear what you're doing that might involve node pools; you can ignore this warning for the time being until you get some complete job designs. Are you running on a supported Windows operating system (Windows ...

It's never been true that Modify stage never creates processes. It's still true that the modify operator *may* be incorporated into the downstream stage's input link processing. This will be determined when the score is composed.

No.

You might be able to sweet talk your vendor into an "evaluation version" but that's still contingent on a sale being likely.

Fork join. (Search)

In the Aggegregtor stage count the rows for each group (each key value).

Funnel based on the key value.

Make sure your data are properly sorted and partitioned on the key value (or, for a small enough number of rows, process on a single node).

Data sets are virtual or physical. In the example, ds0 is a phyiscal data set. There is a virtual data set associated with each link in the job that is actually executed. eAny is actually "(Auto)", not Round Robin. Likewise eCollectAny is "(Auto)". When eOther is used the actual ...

Or use AS clauses to give your columns names in the user-defined SQL. These column names must match those on the Columns grid.

As a general rule, if someone can contribute something they will. Learn patience.

Don't have access to ISM at the moment, but would guess Tools > Preferences (or Options, or whatever it's called).

Keep in mind that importing from XML involves (a) converting from XML to DSX then (b) importing from DSX. So if you start playing around with the XML, you may also have to write your own XML to DSX functionality.
