Welcome aboard. What is the data type of the field in question? What value are you trying to write into this field when the error occurs?

Would you like to experiment with the product role DataStage Administrator (issued from Web Server Console) to see whether this user can release locks relating to DataStage or whether one needs to be a suite administrator? I'm on a single user system at the moment, and don't really have the time to ...

Stay tuned for version 8.1 and the Information Server Manager, where there is the ability to do exactly that comparison (well, you can already do a cross-project comparison, but the new yool allows both pre- and post-deployment comparison, as well as rollback).

DataStage has been owned/marketed by a number of vendors over the years, and subject to the whimsical vagaries of the marketing departments of each. The companies were VMARK, Ardent, Informix, Ascential and IBM. Under IBM the product was initially in the WebSphere range of products (for marketing pu...

Go to the Web Console for Information Server. On the Adminstration tab open the twisty for Session Management and choose Active Sessions. In the grid on the right find the session ID from the error message and select that session via its option button. Then, in the menu on the right, choose Disconne...

You can deploy the design-time components of the new version by the usual means (probably import). However you can not compile while the old version is running. You need to wait for the old version to finish, or stop it, before you will be allowed to compile, which completes the upgrade. You can not...

There are other current threads on exactly this topic. You have to script it; it can not be done "out of the box" from the command line. If you use the GUI you can, however, export from a Quick Search or Advanced Find result.

Server is closer in concept to MVS edition, in that there are few "work" stage types and various connectivity stage types. Like MVS edition, server jobs are easy to develop and the environment is tolerably forgiving. To move to the parallel world there are many more things you need to learn. There a...

I don't think so. The comparison tool is very much tied in to the GUI, and is designed for visual inspection.
