I doubt that that's the case. For example, were the NodeAgents formerly started as root and are not started as a non-root user? Have ulimit values been changed? Are you using the same user to execute?

If you do not have NLS enabled, the internal character set is ASCII. If you do have NLS enabled, the internal character set is UV-UTF8. Neither of these is negotiable. What you can do, if you have NLS enabled, is to map between any other encoding used externally to DataStage into or out of the inter...

IBM also run a certification preparation class on the Sunday of the IOD conference (last week of October).

Much like that one indeed. Probably the duplicate post thereof. Maybe the OP was deleting it as I was executing posting.php.

The space must occur for Decimal data type - it is the sign of the number.

The only way to get rid of the space is to convert to a string data type of some kind, most probably VarChar of sufficient size.

The easiest way is to use node pools. And details on how to do that are to be found in the manuals, specifically the chapter on configuration files. (I can't give an exact reference because I am unsure of the exact version which you are running - the manuals' organization changes between versions.)
