I had an Information Analyzer issue on my first installation for a customer of 11.3.1.2. Twelve phone calls and four email interactions with IBM Support in two days, during which they built an equivalent installation (we were both on Linux), reproduced the problem and submitted it to Engineering for...

May actually be much more straight-forward to accomplish. For my edification, can someone go over how you would leverage that? They run from the command line I assume but under what... control / environment / mechanism? osh [ -options ] osh_script.osh The osh executable is in the PXEngine/bin direc...

You could create a loop in a Transformer stage that loops through the words. Treat the field as a space-delimited string, use Field() function to extract the individual words.

In a word, no. However, you can use the command line interface (IAJob or IAAdmin) to extract information from the analysis database. If you are using the Data Quality Console, or even just the exceptions database, then you can garner information from there as well. I presume you are doing either a c...
