It is possible to expose a sequence as a web service. The tricky part is then consuming the call and delivering the response, which can only be done in job(s). Do you really need so many jobs?!!

Assuming the first line is column names, I guess you could (a) validate that all the column names are valid and (b) establish the expected order of fields in the data records when processing that first line.

Read each line as a single VarChar column, and effect your parsing in a Transformer stage. Use stage variables to track where you're up to in each logical record.

The dsexport.exe command is available on the client tier.

What's wrong with what you're doing? Have you tried encapsulating it in a command like start ?

pjb = parallel job
sjb = server job
qjb = sequence job

There are lots of other tags (suffixes) for the other kinds of repository objects. I won't bother to list them all here.

My guess is that your connection had timed out before you attempted to perform the task. Can you perform it soon after establishing a connection using the Administrator client?

You need to prevent DataStage from inserting tsort operators, since there is no information in the job design to indicate that the data are sorted (presumably via ORDER BY clauses in the Oracle SELECT queries). You can achieve this in one of two ways: an explicit Sort stage set to "Don't sort (...
