DSXchange

I have seen this before, but can't recall if there's a fix or workaround. Check the PATH environment variable for the executing user: (a) after executing dsenv at the command prompt (b) in the environment variables reported in the job log I think you may find that DS has destroyed the PATH that was ...

Yes, you get that but, after you generate the report there's another message box. It probably contains something like /reportingSendFile/sentFile/tempfolder1276818579455%2Fjobname.htm as well as a link to the Reporting Console. Clicking on the first link opens the report directly. If you open the re...

Yes, it is there, and -list_features behaves as advertised. I still think the "upload license file" utility in Web Console is easier to use, and does not expose a password on the command line.

When you generate the report there's a link to view the report that pops up in a message box. This is actually the key to the relevant table in the metadata repository. Follow this link and you'll find yourself in the correct place within the reporting console.

Capture the value of var1 and svDomain, perhaps using an in-link Peek stage - what's in them for the rows where a comma still gets through?

No, I meant cat /path/fileset.fs (these are easier, since there's no binary data - but you can do something similar with ".ds" files).

I Need to install NLS for Chinese characters Go ahead. Do it. Make sure you get the right map (simplified or traditional) for the character set in your data. (1 Chinese character is equal to 2 bytes). This is not necessarily the case, particularly for traditional Chinese, which may have 1, 2, 3 or ...

Nothing. FastTrack ALWAYS uses connectors. It will assume that the ODBC driver for text files is intended.

ulimit -d should probably be larger, ideally unlimited.

Would not be surprised if this is something in XP SP3. I've not seen it, but I've studiously avoided upgrading beyond SP2.

IBM will resist it, but it IS possible to buy just server edition in version 8.1.

Just remember: "the customer is always right".

You will miss out on many new features in Information Server, but will get some useful new server features.

Looks like there's a "<> 'C'" condition somewhere in the logic too. Do provide us with your specification of business logic.

Interesting. A month ago I installed 8.1, FP1 and Foundation Tools (8.1.2) using a customer-specific licensing XML file. Will need to go back to see whether the LicensingServiceAdmin tool is present.

The directory you specify is for the intermediate XML files, not for the report itself. The report goes into the common metadata repository. To view the report, open the Web Console for Information Server on the Reporting tab, choose Reports from the navigation menu, find your DataStage report, and ...
