And, in Canada, letters keep their accents when they are converted to upper case (which is not the case in France).

The error is unrelated to fixed width, except that, when you finally get around to specifying how NULL is to be handled for this particular field, the value that you use (the Null Field Value property) needs to be of the same length as the field definition specifies. Other than that, every field nee...

The apparent problem at source appears to have been resolved. You now need accurate knowledge about how the Japanese characters are encoded in the CSV file, and you must effect a binary transfer to guarantee that nothing in the file is changed during its transition to UNIX file system. This should a...

What is the language setting on the Windows machine where you're saving the CSV file, for this seems to be at the heart of the problem. Can you (or have someone else) save the CSV file on a Japanese version of Windows?

Pretty sure natively. Certainly the redirection operators and unconditional pipeline operator (;) are native.

What service do you have configured to listen on port number 31539? Is this service actually running? Or, perhaps, is someone using an incorrect port number in the login credentials?

&& (and the other pipeline separators) work in DOS too.

Has anyone any experience - especially production experience - with using DataStage in the cloud but where the data sources and targets are not in the cloud?

How were the data transferred to and from DataStage, and was the transfer mechanism a bottleneck?

Soon I hope to be able to play with 9.1. My current client is still 8.7.

Search DSXchange for "BCI", then heed Craig's comment.

Build a sequence in which the first job counts the rows (for preference use a server job and place the count into its user status area). Downstream of that create a custom trigger that requires the count to be greater than zero to allow the actual processing job (which truncates the target) to proce...

Use the same metadata and format string for the target that you used for the source.

How did you move the file to UNIX? If you used FTP, did you use BINARY mode?

If I recall correctly, the Adobe flash player was only necessary for the animated lineage reports in Metadata Workbench (which can be invoked from Business Glossary), not for anything in DataStage.

Check that the hostname is correctly configured and that that host can be contacted by the client. If that is OK, check that all necessary firewall ports are open. If that is OK, check that the engine services are running.
