You don't want to run 40 jobs at the same time - it will overload your machine (unless, of course, you are on a version in which Workload Manager is enabled - that you're in version 8.x suggests that you don't have WLM). Let's imagine you want to run no more than eight jobs at a time (and even that ...

Replies: 13

Yes it is possible but you are right, you would need at least two engine tier machines (with concomitant PVU implications). When you license QualityStage alone, you get more than 50% of DataStage anyway. All the components that QualityStage and DataStage share. When you license DataStage alone you g...

Presumably the file name, or part of it, is parameterised. Examine the job log to ensure that the parameter value is being passed correctly from the dsjob command. Make sure, too, that you're comparing apples with apples; that both jobs are processing the same file. Verify how null handling is confi...

Column analysis should not use any indexes; basically it issues the query SELECT * FROM tablename against the database (or just the specified columns if relevant). Sampling is performed within Information Analyzer. The only time indexing might be useful is a virtual table in Information Analyzer tha...
