Remove Duplicates stage sound like a possibility?

Yes, basically. Or you can explicitly code a Routine activity triggered from each Job activity (a Failure trigger) then direct all these via an "Any" Sequencer into a Terminator activity (7.5 and later only) to issue stop requests to all running child jobs. The Terminator activity can, of course, al...

Change to a Custom trigger on the Routine activity. The default trigger assumes that a return value of 0 is success, and that anything else is failure. Your custom triggers can be based on the return value, rather than simply on "OK".

Quotes definitely do contribute; they restrict you to earning 3 points until and unless your reply gets quite long, when you can earn as many as - oooh - five points!!

I think there's a small increment for including code.

Thinks: must ask Walter.

Revenue (OK, profit) from the classes also goes towards funding this site. Admittedly the classes are just ramping up - we still have to figure out a model for taking PX "on the road" - but more people attending classes might enable a lower rate for premium membership. This is not my call, just an i...

Presumably the points mechanism records time spent constructing a reply. This should be factored in. It would be great if it included some mechanism to differentiate busy time from idle time, but I guess that's hoping for too much!

Most annoying is that it obscures the link I use most - "view next topic" at the bottom of the screen. I have mentioned it in a private email to Walter, who looks after the site.

No. Not finding a library can also be driven by losing that library's directory from the shared library search path (LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LIBPATH or SHLIB_PATH, depending on your UNIX). Check whether someone has changed this. If not, remember the dictum that, if it was working yesterday and is not worki...

Just think - if you had the phone with you, you could add sound effects to your answers. "I have your letter in front of me. Now it is behind me. (sound of flushing)"

A more efficient solution would have been possible in a routine, making use of the fact that a substring may appear on the left hand side of an assignment statement. In the routine search for each "-" then Upcase the next letter. For example: FUNCTION FixHyphenatedName(TheName) Ans = TheName...

DataStage TX 8.0 ("Hawk") was released in 2005.

The other components are currently in beta testing, with an expected release in the second quarter of 2006. They were shown in the event in Las Vegas last November. Some posts about the beta version have already appeared on this forum.

Sounds like a problem with the stage then. I don't want to insult your intelligence but I have to ask this - can you please verify that you're checking the same data file to which the stage is writing?

Got a screen shot? (Off line, perhaps)

Read the entire message carefully and discern what it is informing you about the number of partitions. You have not told us the purpose of lkpLeadMaster and lkpCampMaster or even what kind of object each is. Of course we could guess. But there should be enough information there for you to work out w...

Did you - or someone else - have this log open in Director in another session? DataStage (now) takes a lock on the log while it's being viewed. It may be that. Execute $DSHOME/bin/list_readu | grep RT_LOG on the server next time you're viewing a log in Director. Refreshing the Cleanup Resources scre...
