The Limit tab should be disabled for parallel jobs. The only way you can enforce row limits in parallel jobs is to compile in trace mode, and this puts a Peek stage on every link in the job (so you really NEED a row limit). Parallel jobs are not intended to be limited in production.

Because checking is more stringent in version 8. This is an alert rather than a warning. You are being informed that you are potentially trying to squeeze a large value (with 38 significant digits) into a smaller receptacle (only having seven significant digits), that there are some values (those wi...

The installation guide (manual) would be a great place to start.

That is not possible. However one thing you can do is to set the operating system permissions for objects in the project so that the one user has read, write and execute permission and the others all lack write permission. A DataStage administrator does not, ipso facto, have access to change operati...

Exactly that. It's just a separate stream of processing. After all, the rejects link has to go someplace. You may need to run it through a Column Import stage to re-parse it.

If there's an import error you can intercept those rows on a reject link from the Sequential File stage. Downstream of that you can set the flag to indicate that a default value was used as well, of course, of setting the default value itself.

No. Survive does not provide for aggregation of values. I don't think there's even a way to do it with a custom survivorship rule, as these are primarily about complex conditions.

What is the final entry in the log of the called job?

Welcome aboard. What exact version of DataStage (for example 7.5.2, 7.5.3)? Are these jobs being run from Director directly, from a job sequence or from the dsjob command line interface?

...but will install, even though not supported.

I suspect the blank screen might be anti-virus software interfering with things - do you have anti-virus and firewall disabled while the installation is proceeding?

Is large file support enabled? This file is 3GB.

It might be interesting to run the ten jobs simultaneously rather than consecutively.

In the short term, choose the one that works. Then you have time to study how to configure the alternatives.

Doesn't matter - it's all the same at this point.

What virtualization software are you using? It certainly works with VMWARE - all IBM education is delivered using VMWARE images.
