Try Oconv(Iconv(InLink.TheDate, "DYMD"), "DYJ['1',2,3]" : @VM : "MCN") You may like to finagle the century indicator based on the second character of the date string. InLink.TheDate[2,1] + 1 : Oconv(Iconv(InLink.TheDate, "DYMD"), "DYJ[2,3]" : @VM : &...

Or just enable the Unicode extension on your output field so that it, too, is data type ustring.

I don't think IBM's money was wasted, Uncle Kim.

It's called the Connector Migration Tool, and is mentioned in the error messages.

Another change in 11.x is that HTTP for connecting is no longer supported. People seem to have taken that one in their stride.

The second # is flagging the end of a reference value, it would appear.

Try inserting a user variables activity to construct the full required instance ID, and use the user variable as the invocation ID.

Thanks, Vincent I had a bit of a play with it at Insight 2015, and of course attended the DSXchange webinars on the topic presented by Robert Dickson and Ernie Ostic, but now my customers are getting to the end of the "thinking about it" phase. I guess I'm after customer stories and any go...

Theoretically you should stop engine, services and repository in that order, and start them in the reverse of that order.

Practically all tiers are reasonably robust, and will re-establish connections. In version 11.x even the client tier is able to re-establish connection.

Effective, yes, but moot. Partitioning spreads records over all the available nodes. In your case the number of available nodes is 1. It will still "work", though with all rows being processed on that node as specified by your configuration. The good news is that, if you have programmed th...

It remains true that the body can not be parameterized. However you can direct the output into a file (perhaps using tee command) and specify an attachment to the email. The pathname of the attachment CAN be parameterized.

There is, but you will have to specify the deletion rules first. Under what circumstances may you delete jobs? What manner of version control is in use? Is it needed to archive old jobs before deletion?

The command you will need is istool delete which is used to delete DataStage assets.

Do the jobs started from the sequence require the content of the email? In that case, in addition to all the advice given above, you will probably need some mechanism for extracting the email content. This is most easily accomplished using Java code.

Welcome aboard. That's a rather unfair assignment for someone new to both technologies! The DataStage engine tier is the machine on which the DataStage projects exist. Jobs are started from this machine. Execution may occur on this machine and/or others, for example in a cluster or grid environment....

Which particular report did you try to create, of the templates that are provided? Did you actually run the report? To be honest, and without checking, I'm not sure that Investigation outputs are available through the reports mechanism. Look at the available report templates to verify this (certainl...

Is anyone yet using the Stewardship Center over Information Governance Catalog? Would you be prepared to share your experiences with me?

Can you please explain how you get 7 partitions from three nodes? This may, of course, be confusion of terminology.
