DSXchange

Do "they" quiesce the database (or similar) between 02:00 and 04:00 for system maintenance such as backups?

Use a Nested Condition activity to determine how many instances are already running. On second thought, a Routine activity may be easier for accomplishing this task.

Link Collector requires identical record schema on all links (inputs and output).

But writing from within the job will not affect the values that the job read when it started. You can write to the values file before issing the job run request (and, of course, you must name that values file in a -param argument to the dsjob command if that's how you're issuing the job run request)...

And then, when you need to unpack the delimited string, use the Field() function. The first element is returned by
and the second element is returned by

This would be much easier wit sequencer. If you don't want to use seq then tell us how u r getting the parameters..... DSXchange is not a mobile telephone. It is unnecessary, and unprofessional, to use SMS-style abbreviations here. A professional standard of written English aids those whose first l...

You have probably noticed that this is a completely different error. Your record schema appears only to describe up to column position 2. It needs to describe the remainder of the line. For example, if there are only two characters of data, do you have DOS-style line terminator? (If so, replace the ...

What's the record schema?

The output from awk will be a string so, for example, if your record schema specifies an integer, your processing will fail due to the invalid value "1" (which is not an integer - it's a string).

The answer to Craig's dilemma is that this piece is written to run in UNIX (MKS Toolkit) and converts Windows pathnames to UNIX-legal pathnames. At run time your shared library search path is not finding the dll to which the Transformer stage was compiled. Check in the log entry that reports environ...

Adapt the parallel Ereplace() function to handle multiple strings. Or create a "wrapper" routine to feed one string at a time to that Ereplace() function.

Where is the parameter value set? If it comes from the command line you could create a script that makes the decision. Functionally, of course, this would be identical to the equivalent Sequence.

Why won't "they" allow a Sequence? It's the logical solution.

Resist stupid requirements!

That's not an error - it's a metadata mismatch alert. One side you have a timestamp that supports microseconds (fraction=6) whereas on the other side you have a timestamp that does not support fractional seconds at all (fraction=0). Tidy up your metadata or, if this is not possible, use a message ha...

Hi All, APT_TSORT_STRESS_BLOCKSIZE environment variable can be used only when you have a sort stage used in your job design with restrict memory option selected. Is this right? Thank you very much in adv for your reply on this. Regards, A kumar This is not right. APT_TSORT_STRESS_BLOCKSIZE affects ...

What is "plz"?

In German it's the abbreviation for Postleitzahl (postal code), but you're not writing in German.

Do you have an ODBC driver for UniData installed on the Linux machine?
