Or, of course, increase the available resources (buy hardware). The experience with version 8 seems to be more and more that the development machine needs at least as much grunt as the production machine, particularly when there are multiple developers. It's a simple supply and demand situation. Use...

What do you need in the header/footer? Is there only one per file, or is there one per group of records? What, indeed, do you mean by these terms in an XML context? For single header/footer the simplest method is to use an echo command. More complex header/footer may be written with before/after sub...

It's not possible to access UniVerse from parallel jobs unless (a) it's genuine UniVerse (not DataStage) and (b) you have an ODBC driver for UniVerse installed on the DataStage server. In a parallel job there is no direct way to access the tables in the DataStage Repository. You could, of course, cr...

Stored in records in the RT_STATUSnnn table for the job, where the job number is nnn. There is no documentation in the public domain that explains the structures that are used - as Craig says you're better off using API functions, mainly DSGetLinkInfo(), to retrieve this information.

Interview question?

U could do incremental aggregation in precisely the same way that anyone else can.

However, I happen to know that U is presently working on a server-only site, and is therefore unlikely to be able to provide an answer for parallel job execution.

Have you re-started DataStage server after emplacing the new map? One of the things done when the server starts is to load selected maps into shared memory. Have you used the Administrator client to mark the map as one of those to be loaded?
