Looks like your system can't handle the total load, as indicated by the "unable to start PHANTOM process" message. "PHANTOM" is just DataStage terminology for a background process. Involve your UNIX administrator to check the size of the process table and the size of the per-process number of backgr...

There are, indeed, other ways to write routines, including in text files outside of DataStage. But let's not muddy the waters!

Chances are that you have corrupted the hashed file, so you will need to delete it and re-create it. Or just clear it of contents, which may be easier. To resize a hashed file to 64-bit, you need RESIZE, for which you will need a VOC pointer. Search the forum for SETFILE. The Hashed File stage does ...

Maximum page file size should be at least three times physical memory size.

So maybe try using a regular expression as the argument for like.

Use the Administrator client to verify that parallel job capability (Enterprise Edition) is correctly licensed on the server. Issue the CONFIG command from the Command window; if parallel job capability is licensed you will see a message to the effect that "-DSPX package is installed".

I believe IBM will introduce something BAD, if only because it's a three letter acronym!

Are you running on Windows XP? It may be that the machine needs to have its network card active - that is, the machine must be participating in a network.

It looks, from the error message, like you've mis-spelled the function name as DoJobReport. Please check.

Custom UniVerse functions were originally intended for DataStage customers who already had their business rules functions written in the UniVerse database, which was the original engine for DataStage. This is no longer the case, so it's a requirement that is likely to atrophy in DataStage. As a begi...
