Just because the same symptom occurs does not necessarily mean that the cause is the same. Just ask your doctor.

You're probably not executing in the same directory. Include a cd command in the commands executed from DataStage.

You need to add five months then add two days, perhaps in two stage variables in the Transformer stage. This requirement can not be done as a single generic function because month lengths are unequal. Is there anything special about "five months and two days" (just curious) or is this a specific exa...

It can only be done if the job is capable of running multiple instances (this is a compilation option set in job properties). If the job is not capable of running multiple instances then the second attempt to start it will fail with a "job not in correct state" error, meaning that it is already runn...

Had you had a premium membership you could have read the entirety of my previous reply. I proposed some ideas in that post. How long does this query take to return all rows (note: NOT to return the first row) using some other client, such as TOAD? Why do you think DataStage would be any different? Y...

If you write custom queries you're pretty much on your own. Why aren't you using generated query? A SELECT statement can never generate UNIQUE constraint violations. I suspect you're not managing your keys very well either. How many jobs call KeyMgtGetNextValue with an argument of 1? An excellent wa...

If you want alphbetic month characters you have to specify the same. One way to do this is: Oconv(Iconv(Left(Inlink.Field1,10),'DYMD[4,2,2]'),'D-DMY[2,A3,2]') Another way is Oconv(Iconv(Left(Inlink.Field1,10),'DYMD[4,2,2]'),'D2-DMBY') Don't use Substri...
