Did the job run/hang through midnight?

The file name within BPnnn.O includes the date and time in internal format.

Re-compiling the job should correct the problem.

You can't do it that way because of the restriction in the Sequential File stage (and, indeed, throughout DataStage) prohibiting column names beginning with numeric characters. Since the number of columns is so small, write the data without column headings. Invoke ExecSH as a before-job subroutine t...

It probably is worthwhile.

Version 11.3 exams for QualityStage and Information Analyzer are not yet available, but I suspect that the same composite certification will be available once they are.

You won't see server jobs in the Palette until you have created one. When a server job is open, then you see the Server Job palette.

Check that you have password-less rsh configured correctly if Node1 is remote.

Check that the USADDR rule set has been provisioned, if you have made any overrides, etc., to it.

Varbinary can be called Raw. In a Transformer or Modify stage specify a function that converts from Raw to String.

Do you regard Notepad++ as truly XML-aware? Try using a browser.

Connector stages typically do create two connections, one an inactive "control" connection, and one to do the actual work. I've been caught by this in a number of scenarios, and it's not just DB2; I've experienced the same with Netezza. However the inactive connection ought not to take any...

Designing a Sequencer is simple; you have only one choice, whether to run it in Any mode or All mode. Your question is about a Sequence.
