Pin 1 is probably the output from the Transformer stage. Is there a problem opening the file mentioned in the Sequential File stage?

Default license includes parallel jobs, indeed it includes everything. The LicensingServiceAdmin.sh script, which installs with Fix Pack 1, is how you remove from your license any component to which you're not entitled. IBM trusts you to do the right thing. When IBM audits you, which your license ag...

Is there a file called /.dshome on the system?

Can't you just choose "5" (meaning "every 5th") in the Director scheduler interface?

There's no way we can address that issue (pun not intended). Where are your test data? Do your actual results comply with your expected results?

There is not. I'd go so far as to warrant that there is no unknown standard either.

Can you help me the reason why it is not incrementing properly? No, because both instances of your Transformer stage ARE incrementing correctly. You have two lots of 1 through 20. If you need to preserve the order thereof, add a sort of some kind downstream of the Transformer stage, and use a Sort ...

Because process metadata may not be accurately reported, and DataStage needs to alert you to that possibility.

Do it all in a Transformer stage with a second output (or more than one) for the log. Make use of stage variables for decision making.

No, the binary representation of NULL in DataStage is 10000000.

Raw is a byte string in which \0 can appear without being a terminating character when read by C code. Its most obvious use is capturing rows (as a raw string) when the import operator can not parse the data according to the metadata - it would be improper to represent this row as "string"...

It was introduced in approximately July in version 8.1 FP 1.

However, my understanding is not that it enables parallel jobs, but is used to remove unlicensed components from an "everything is licensed" default licence file.

Welcome aboard. At least one of these processes is defunct. What do you know about "zombies" in UNIX? You may need to restart the UNIX machine. Next time, make sure nothing is running before you shut down the Engine services.

It probably will work - this is not one of the options offered earlier. Be wary of Trim() though - it can leave a single space in the string. There are other functions that more comprehensively remove white space characters.
