Design your jobs better. Add nodes to the configuration file. Learn and understand the Orchestrate architecture.

Have you read the manuals that discuss these stage types? These manuals accompany the stage types when you purchase them. Otherwise, as far as I can recall, IBM do offer training in how to use the SAP PACKs - it may even be available via "e-Learning". Contact your local IBM Learning Center to ask.

The data type of this column in the DB2 table is VarChar(4000), irrespective of what it contains. If you use something different in your job, DataStage will alert you that there is a metadata mismatch. Arnd's suggestion of using a CAST when extracting is a good one.

Not quite. But they usually end up being the same. A node is a processing unit - a set of processes at run time. A partition is a subset of the data. There are as many partitions as nodes. Be aware, however, that this can be different from the number of nodes in the configuration file, for example i...

Make sure that there's always enough disk space.

If a routine is in use, or mapped into shared memory, it will not be overwritten. You probably need to manage the timing of your import more carefully. Restarting DataStage on the server (then effecting the import) will probably fix the problem, as it re-initializes shared memory among other things.

Welcome aboard. It appears that the licensing file is not being found in the branded_odbc directory (which is a sibling of the DataStage Engine directory on the server machine). This may indicate an incomplete or incorrect installation. If you can find this directory, there are several readme files ...

You must have the terminator on the SQL. Return code of less than zero indicates an error (in your case an SQL syntax error). Call DSExecute ("TCL","SELECT COUNT(*) FROM VOC WHERE F0 = 'DSU.FWKCommunLectureParam' ;", Output, ReturnCode) ^

The entire error message will give a job number and a file name and, possibly, a line number or address. You can use this to inspect the source code generated by the Transformer stage. Since you elected not to post the complete error message it is impossible to assist further. You must ascertain wha...

Please clarify what you are asking. It it a case-insensitive search and replace always with the same constant value or do you wish (as in your example) to preserve the casing when you undertake the replacement? I think the only solution to the latter is a custom routine. None of the "out of the box"...

Stop trying to view the log - apparently it contains very many entries, and is trying to do a time-sorted report. Close director entirely. If all else fails, go to Session Management in the web console for Information Server and disconnect the process associated with the job log. Then you should be ...

DataStage jobs allocate to themselves only the memory they require. Using one job to invoke another (presumably through UtilityRunJob() or a similar function) starts a child process, which should have an independent address space. DataStage does make use of shared memory for lock tables and various ...

That will not accomplish the desired result unless the Position field in the Columns collection is used to indicate the field number in the hashed file data record.

I doubt that there can be any "one size fits all" template. While there are similarities between ETL jobs, each is unique to its circumstances. Therefore a template approach seems to me to be ill-advised. Contemplate what the ETL job needs to do, and design test data accordingly. Run these test data...

Is this a server job (as marked) or a parallel job (as posted)?
