Indeed.

Best practice tip #Rnd(42): never have Director log or monitor open nor Designer design area open when exporting/importing that job.

Is this a one-off exercise or an ongoing requirement?

The SQL that is actually executed is usually obtainable from the job log.

The SQL that is designed is a property of the link on which it occurs. This SQL may include job parameter references.

To clarify that further, Windows IS supported for version 7.5.2, but only server and mainframe jobs.

A special version (7.5x2) was created to compile and run parallel jobs on Windows platforms.

To check whether the AppServer is running: /usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/serverStatus.sh server1 To check whether the ASB Agent is running: netstat -n | grep 31531 (there should be one listener) To check whether the Job Monitor app is running: netstat -n | grep 1340 (there should be two listeners)

The after-job subroutine itself could start the other job. Depends really on what you actually want to accomplish, about which you have provided little information.

What actual commands are you using to request the jobs to stop. "Scripts" is not a useful start point for diagnosis.

The "$" character will cause DataStage to seek out an environment variable in the project. Is that how your project is set up?
