DSXchange

What is the desired format of the target table that receives the rejected records and associated information (in particular, what are you using for its key)? Some more information about the "business rules" you need to test would probably be useful as well.

Start by enabling RCP and allowing DataStage to generate the schema on the output of the Combine Records stage. Then take a look at that schema. Not sure what your upstream stage is - look in the score to determine whether it is using consecutive modify operators - if so, do as the message suggests ...

Set the Null Field Value property in the Sequential File stage. Filter out the rows with Col1 is null in a downstream Filter or Transformer stage.

Yes; it's name has changed to WISD (or just ISD). Deployment and control of services is managed differently, because the W in WISD is "WebSphere". But it's well described in the manuals and you could even search DSXchange because I'm sure Ernie Ostic has explained the process on at least o...

Execution-wise Batch:: is just the same as a sequence job which, in turn, is the same as a server job that contains no stages but only a job control routine.

As a general rule anything can be removed from scratch that does not relate to a currently-running job. You're right that they should be removed automatically, but when a job aborts this does not always happen. The machine log files in the temp directory and/or your home directory should be archived...

None, but I bypassed 7.5.3, going straight from 7.5.2 to 8.0.1 (and soon after that to 8.1.2).

No idea. Contact your official support provider. Somewhere they will have the source code that will make the stack trace meaningful.

If the three-character string "|" is your delimiter string, set the quote character to none. If the single character | is your delimiter and character strings are quoted with " then set the delimiter to | and the quote character to double. Either will work. However, if you want to hav...

How many times are you going to post this question ?!!!!!

Server job (as posted) or parallel job (as marked)? Are you seeking to construct this hierarchy or to read from it?

Premium membership is the main way that the hosting and bandwidth costs of DSXchange are met. It's not expensive, at less than 30c per day. So, instead of me undermining the continued existence of DSXchange, why don't you obtain a premium membership?
