Does CAMP_START_DT appear twice in the list of Columns in a stage that has an Input link?

The BASIC Transformer requires the server engine. You would need to install this on every node in the cluster (at huge licence cost) to even have a chance of having the BASIC Transformer stage run in MPP environment. No-one's prepared to waste the resources. You could always specify a node pool that...

Search the forum. You need to have installed Visual Studio .NET to get the C++ compiler needed.

Server job Aggregator stage has no capacity to sort records.

You may have discerned as much by reading this thread which is also active today.

Don't check the program, check the file ! DataStage isn't complaining about the program, it's complaining about the file. What's the row length of the file? What is the total size of the file (use the wc command)? Is one an exact multiple of the other? If not there is at least one aberrant row in th...

In a word, maintainability. The Sequential File stage does not enforce data types. However, it is useful to have some idea about what kind of data are expected in each field. What better way than to document the expected data type - the data type that this column will need to be somewhere downstream...

Was the number 81002 as originally reported or 80012 as subsequently reported? They are radically different, though both related to the RPC mechanism.

That's not many for India.

(I've made an assumption based on jatayl's nick, but I think it might hold. One of my clients in India has about 75 developers, another 40.)

Aarrgh, it's DataStage EE. Sorry about that.

Anyway, you can get MKS Toolkit or CYGWIN or any of those UNIX emulators without having to get them with DataStage.
