There's no bug in the dsjob command - it's showing what one would expect. Why do you believe there's a bug in your script? Are you prepared to show the script itself?

If you have jobs that abort, cleaning up the old entries on scratch disk can be beneficial too. If your jobs/sequences create temporary files, Data Sets or File Sets, then do not delete them, cleaning them up might be useful also. Periodically audit your management processes, particularly "offb...

A hash file is a tool for shaping a block of hash. Hashed files are unchanged between DataStage versions 6.0 and current. Things that might slow execution in version 8.x include heavier workload on the server, and the need to interact with the services the comprise Information Server, particularly m...

You don't need to set these values unless advised to do so by support. They are offsets from default base addresses for four shared memory segments used by the DataStage run machine. To test, and get recommended values for, these settings execute the command as superuser: $DSHOME/bin/shmtest -f $DSH...

I prefer Data Sets for that (with parallel jobs). They are more efficiently loaded and unloaded than database tables.

:idea: Things like referential integrity should have been checked earlier in the ETL process - you don't need a "staging database" to do that.

Find liborchgeneralsun4.so and include its parent directory in your shared library search list (the value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH). I suggest you use the find command to search for the liborchgeneralsun4.so file.

Gain some information ahead of processing, particularly the line count in the file (wc -l command). You can use that in a Transformer stage (executing in sequential mode or in a server job) to filter on @INROWNUM.

Code: Select all

@INROWNUM <> 1 And @INROWNUM <> paramLineCount
