"Unknown" means just the same to us as it means to you. Contact your official support provider and they'll suggest what logs to look at. More information about exactly what you were doing will almost certainly be required by your support provider.

A batch IS a sequence, except for having no GUI and a specific naming convention. Similarly a job control routine IS a sequence, except for having no GUI. Of course the really smart answer is to use a sequence. A sequence is not a sequencer. A sequencer makes an "any/all" decision about wh...

All years have a 53rd week under the business rule that every week has exactly seven days. 365/7 = 52.14... and 366/7 = 52.28...

Maybe you need to specify your business rule more carefully.

A hash file is a tool for shaping a block of hash.

DataStage has hashed files.

Not sure what a "plz" is, so not sure whether "any one plz" can give you an answer.

While you're waiting for that, why not Search DSXchange? Curiously enough, you are not the first to report this symptom.

You need to identify what is different between the two environments.

Is there a similar discrepancy using some other client tool, such as TOAD or sqlplus?

Basically you need two separate VMWare images - one Linux and one Windows. Make sure their virtual IP addresses are in the same virtual domain, so that one can "see" the other.

Maybe, but maybe not. If you services and engine tiers are on separate machines, and the disconnection occurred between client and services tier and PuTTY were connected to the engine tier, then PuTTY would be unaffected.

Link ordering allows you to specify the order in which the output links are processed. This is most useful when you already have an Otherwise/Log output, and want to add a new output link ahead of it. You don't need to disconnect the Otherwise/Log output, you simply re-order in the Link Ordering dia...

Data Sets carry four additional fields (per record) used for recording the structure - including sort order - of the data in the Data Set. These fields can be seen when inspecting the record schema of the Data Set (or File Set, which also carry these fields).

Use Web Console for Information Server to manage the sessions (versions 8.x only) - are the disconnected sessions still recorded as present there?

What else might be happening on your network to interrupt connections?

Welcome aboard.
