The *.v has nothing to do with the Rule Set, so you can stop anguishing about that. When a DataStage/QualityStage job runs each link generates a virtual Data Set, the descriptor file for which has a name ending in ".v". For whatever reason, DataStage/QualityStage has detected that somethin...

DataStage is only following database rules - you can't have two columns with the same name in the one table, or two tables with the same name in the one schema, etc.

When you next get the warning, look at the "job starting" event in the log or the "environment variables" event, to determine just what the value of APT_ORCHHOME is for that run.

I believe I misunderstood the question. I don't know where the tutorial material is, but it usually comes with the installation software. It may also be downloadable from the IBM web site, or available through your reseller.

Use a hex editor to actually look at what's there. That will guide your future steps.

Then what do you mean by "target is dataset stage"?

Did the job that populates the range map complete successfully?

This shouldn't happen.

How big is the hashed file (or how big is the DATA.30 file within it)?

MINIMUM.MODULUS is not an upper limit on the size of the hashed file; it's only a lower limit.

Can you check your design to make sure that it's not there that the key values are being reset?

Welcome aboard.

While it might be possible to use the Web Services pack, it's not something I've done. You can also use an ODBC driver for Lotus Notes.

Yes, just open the job in Designer.

You can then generate a job report if you need to.
