There is not.

Further, there are two possible solutions. One is the dependent objects in the design, the other is what was actually run (the logic and/or restart of the job sequence may exclude certain activities).

Yes it's possible, but how you do it depends on how you created it in the first place. If it was created in the account, then the command - which can be executed through the Administrator client Command window - is CNAME.

DataStage has run on HP-UX since day one. And, yes, it remains a supported platform. Make sure that you become aware of version dependencies (which will depend on what version of DataStage you are planning to be on on the new system).

NullToValue is not a UNIX script.

Can you be more precise about your requirement? In particular do you wish to invoke the UNIX command once per run or once per row?

That's why I specified "for example".

You must investigate the job score to find out what is actually being executed. It is rarely exactly the same as what you designed.

Explore the Aggregator stage's null handling properties. Is this column a grouping column or a column for calculation?

Welcome aboard.

That's not the same as changing a parameter value within a job once that job is running.
