DSXchange

Not through File Set stage (unless you're particularly devious about file names and locations and can construct a File Set descriptor file). Use a Sequential File stage with multiple File properties and, if you wish, the property that specifies to treat the files as a File Set - which means that the...

I know they're not supposed to be positional, but try it with the domain switch first. For example:

In the Jobs menu select Clear Log. You can perform a manual purge or change the auto-purge settings.

Have you examined dsprcservices file? Essentially dsapi_server is always started because this is the executable associated with the dscs service. It looks after the connection. Whether or not a dsapi_slave process is started depends on whether there's any work to be done accessing the repository. Ad...

You need to show the exact SETFILE command that you executed and its output.

Execute in sequential mode, or make sure that your collector re-assembles the lines in their correct order.

Some operating systems limit the size of a line in a text file, but fewer and fewer these days. DataStage imposes no limits. Take extra care when importing the table definition; it will save buckets of time if you get it right at the first attempt.

There's nothing in DataStage, but you can always use the Windows file system object (folder) properties to be as specific as you like.

This will give you two new columns, one of which is an ISO country code that you can use to filter your data into separate streams by country (or groups of countries). For some, you can process with country-specify rule se...

DSGetLinkInfo() is correct.

Why you get different results can not be explained without more information. For example are you examining precisely the same run of the job? Does dsjob command produce different results again?

dscs = DataStage Common Services - the service requested by connecting DataStage clients and resolved via the dsrpcservices file consulted by dsrpcd (DataStage RPC daemon).

It is from this that dsapi_server instances get created.

Either dsapi_server or dscs processes may fork dsapi_slave processes.

Search will be your friend here.

That's what the manuals are for. It may even be that IBM offers a class in using XML with DataStage. Check it out on their website - training is usually buried under Services.

You couldn't afford what IBM would charge for Ernie!

You should, as DBA user, be able to reset the password. Unfortunately I do not have the knowledge to supply you with the actual command. Can Google help if your DB2 DBA and official support provider cannot?

At the same time, change the XMETA password to "never expires".
