No. Only in an Orchestrate shell (osh).

A better reference manual is the Orchestrate Operators manual. This can be sourced free of charge from your official support provider. Ask for the "OEM manuals".

Not unless there's at least one reference to $ENV as a default value - either in the Administrator client or in the job parameters grid.

Operators are the classes instantiated when a parallel job is compiled or, perhaps, when its score is composed.

You will need to be a bit more specific about what you mean by "the syntax" in the Parallel Job Advanced Developer's Guide - it is a very thick manual.

A hex dump is output that shows each byte as a pair of hex characters. You can use a command like od -c filename to get one. You must be using a record schema. Open the generated OSH in the Job Properties dialog; you will find it there. You will also find it on the Layout tab of the table definition...

Do you mean time to design, or time to execute? If the former, it will depend on your ETL developer's skill level. And does the time include time for unit testing the componentry? The answer in the latter case is "the difference between finish time and start time". For goodness' sake, you ...

That's not a hex dump. I'd like to see what's really there. What are you using as your Null Field Value property? I did also ask for the record schema.

Try disabling the hashed file write cache.

What are the permissions on RT_SCTEMP in your project? What permissions do you have to it? What permissions does dsapi_slave have to it?

If you don't set them at all, they take their default values. (That's what "default" means in this context.)

Where is your routine obtaining the values with which to set the parameters?

None of which I am aware or can find mentioned in the manuals.

In 7.5x2 View Data does not accept environment variable parameters with $PROJDEF, $ENV or $UNSET as default values at all. You should not need to start the server. However, you probably do need to create an environment variable called ORA_PWD in the Administrator client. Set that one's default value...

I have no idea whether or not U agrees with what you have done.

I suspect that MKS Toolkit has to be on the same drive as DataStage engines.

And I have no experience at all with sp3, so can not advise about that. I had success with sp2 (after installing the DataStage XPSP2 patch) only.

OK, now we begin to suspect the local DS_STAGETYPES hashed file. Can you please execute these commands and report the results? Each is intended to check the internal integrity of the hashed file.

TX is no longer a part of DataStage (it never was, really, but marketing got it wrong). TX is now called WebSphere Transformation Extender.

If you have this product you have the tutorial files.

If you get the tutorial files but don't have the product, they are useless.

DataStage converts all line terminators to field marks. In that way it does not matter whether you are running on UNIX or Windows operating system.
