Well, you could always create message handlers to demote them to informational or suppress them from the job log. (That answer also informs you that I have no idea why you are seeing the behaviour you are seeing, and indirectly that I have no time to research it. Right now I'm in India, but the serv...

Are you certain? References to basicstring.h and RT_BP14.O in the messages do not inspire confidence.

I responded to the author at The Register explaining gently why he is wrong.

Check the Administrator client - choose your project then click on the Environment command button to open up the environment variables grid. Maybe the environment variables in question have been added there in DEV but not in SIT and PROD. There's an entire chapter on the parallel engine environment ...

MS Access 2007 is to support multi-valued data types! "... if you are an application developer, the finer points of relational database theory often sound like just so much academic nonsense. If a new feature makes life easier, who cares if it happens to break some arbitrary rule written over 20 yea...

You could start dsrpcd in a low-verbosity debugging mode, or even simply direct its output to some other file than /dev/null. Even this would not tell you that it's running now, but would tell you how recently it had logged anything. After all, it's a listener - it doesn't do anything unless asked t...

From an efficiency point of view, an Index() function looking for the first occurrence may be preferable. Index(link.column#1, "|", 1) = 0 And Index(link.column#2,"|", 1) = 0 And ... Then you could make use of the Boolean context to strip out the comparisons with ...

Currently the MQ server must be installed on the same machine as the DataStage server. I believe this requirement is to be relaxed in Hawk, and only a client will be required.

You can also read multiple files in different directories by setting the Source property to Specific File and using multiple File properties. Of course the files must have identical record schema.

What Craig says about XML is true, however.

Server job solution


(I thought you were in India, Arun: how come you're dealing with MDY format dates?)

In a Modify stage numbers are zero-based, so the third character is number 2 and the required function is either substring[2,5](field) or substring[2,3](field) as the other issue is resolved.

Two words: design freeze. Inform them that every change that requires you to re-work your solution is costing them more at your hourly rate, and is likely to slip the project schedule further. As a general rule, "dynamic metadata" can't be done out of the box. There was an attempt some years back to...

Be more thoughtful/specific about your requirement. You say that the branch is based on "a" value. Even though that value is in a Data Set, is it correct that it is nonetheless only a single value? So it would still be possible to use a job to extract that value and write it to a sequential file? (T...

Not all job specifications are written by knowledgable persons. We have laughed at a few in the past. The usual classic is requiring 10 years experience with a four year old product. Think "pointy haired boss".

Please confirm that this is a BASIC Transformer, not a regular Transformer stage.
