Download ETLstats from Kim Duke's website - it's got all you want and more (unless you want some really arcane stuff).

Good catch. So a Trim() might also be indicated.

I doubt that posting the link would be regarded in Court as aiding and abetting the offence of copyright violation but, if you are concerned, simply edit your post appropriately.

Has anyone searched the IBM website recently?

Probably both violating copyright. In any case, there are manuals for version 7.5 (which are the most recent as far as I am aware). I don't have a link for them.

Since you're already in DataStage BASIC, you could simply use OpenSeq to test for existence. It takes its THEN clause if the file exists, and its ELSE clause if the file does not exist. Don't forget to CloseSeq before exiting.

The Field() functions don't do anything (there is no "," in the source strings), or is there something extra you're not telling us? What are the sizes of the three Decimal fields in the target? Have you configured default values for them? Are they nullable? Do you allow "all zeroes&qu...

The easiest solution is probably one that involves the DataStage API functions DSGetLinkInfo() and DSGetLinkMetaData(). But that won't yield the folder name.

Welcome to the leading edge. No-one here has had the time yet to investigate the structure of XMETA or, if they have, they have not shared their findings. On the other hand, the database is "open", so you are able to investigate to your heart's content. All table definitions in version 8 a...

The maximum number of connections, of listeners, is set on the Oracle side, not on the DataStage side. Consult your friendly DBA. Bear in mind also that the "nine connections" of which you speak are on each node. So, if you are executing with a four-node configuration file, you are request...
