Stop dealing with American vendors who think that "#" (Shift-3) is the pound symbol. :lol:

The routines that Craig mentioned are here - however there isn't a TimestampDifference in that set. This can be done with a simple expression (it only looks complex). That expression can be used in a sequence or in server job components or even in a BASIC Transformer stage. (Iconv(Field(Timestamp2, ...

Probably the firewall. One of the port numbers that needs to be open (most likely 31538) may not be.

Second possibility is that the dsrpcd process is not running. Confirm whether or not it's listening using netstat commands.

The global memory for tsort operators is set by environment variable APT_TSORT_STRESS_BLOCKSIZE Yes, you can demand more memory than the system can provide. You can even do this...

You don't need a .dsx, at least until IBM eschews use of the local repository for design-time information. It's all there in DS_JOBOBJECTS (and can be verified against RT_CONFIGnnn if necessary).

Do you have write permission to the parent directory of the Data Set descriptor file? You need rwx permission to a parent directory in order to be able to delete any of its contained objects.
