DSXchange

That's something you will need to check with your DBA. Typically VarChar data are stored with a length designator then an unpadded string, though some databases do pad the string to a whole word boundary.

The APT_Communicator class is used by player process to exchange data between partitions. It appears to be having a problem with the /tmp directory. Do you have a C:\tmp folder (or D:\tmp if that's where you've installed DataStage server)?

Does this "set" of jobs contain 1428 jobs?

Despite popular belief, DataStage server machines can not deliver an infinite supply of resources.

Go to the IBM website or ask your official support provider about which operating systems are supported.

And yes in any case. While what you say (that a fatal error means that the job must finish with Aborted status) is true for server jobs, it is not true for parallel jobs. You need to inspect the "fatal" messages more carefully, having particular regard to the node and operator that generat...

"No configuration file" in the error message suggests that the .odbc.ini file can not be found. Is your ODBCINI environment variable set?

You have specified a pathname in the "Directory for Data and Command Files" property in your bulk load stage but either this directory does not exist or the executing user does not have permission to create the control and data files therein.

The example and the text are incompatible. I would expect something like:

Go bigger. Try Decimal(48,10).

There is a special type of log event generated if a reject-handling link processes any rows. You can use DSGetNewestLogId() or dsjob -lognewest to search for this kind of log event specifically.

Ah, read FROM multiple nodes.

In that case the answer to your question 2 is "yes", provided that all the nodes can see the large file.

The best command to issue to determine whether the DataStage server is running is shrdump - build that into the BAT file you schedule from AT.

What would you do if you were working in Linux (no DataStage involved) and it said "sh not found"? Do the same in this case. Hint: check your PATH environment variable.

In version 7 and earlier the dsadm user is the DataStage administrator. On Windows any member of the Administrators group is also a DataStage administrator.
