It's in the Sequential File stage in version 9.1 - the functionality had to be created for the Big Data File stage, so they dropped it into the Sequential File stage as well.

The DataDirect drivers have a 30 day grace period for use other than from DataStage stages, after which they expect you to purchase a licence (not cheap). Your routine will stop connecting to the data source 31 days after first use.

Welcome aboard.

I don't believe it's possible. Check with the InfoSphere Information Server team within IBM.

You got a mirror? Begin with a design document, outlining any special parsing rules (for example keeping D'SOUZA together, which exists in the USNAME rule set). The design document specifies output fields (the dictionary), the classes (on which the classification table is based) and the processing r...

If you have two boxes you can have true high availability, in either active-active or active-passive configuration. Read all about this in the Planning, Installation and Configuration Guide.

Data are never imported into IA. Only metadata. Analysis results are stored in tables in the IA database (frequency distributions and the like) and in the metadata repository (XMETA), but never source data. Analysis results typically would change given changed source data. You can set baseline and c...

For anyone who needs to know, the webinar time is Saturday, May 24th at 3:00am Australian Eastern Standard Time.

It would be very useful if GoToWebinar provided the capacity to determine the time of a webinar in one's local time zone.

Other webinar software can do this - why not the one that DSXchange uses?

Search the Parallel Job Developer's Guide manual for "Date and Time Formats" (in Chapter 2). The part about variable forms follows the main table of string format components.
