DSXchange

There is some good news in the next release; a new component called - Business Glossary! I'm still on the road, so it's difficult to put all the info from the conference together yet. You should be able to get some info about the Hawk release from IBM.

do you wish to limit it to only those who have taken that particular class?

That's my intention - as a chat forum as much as anything. It would only be apposite to post about stuff from the class. Things that ought to be in other forums will still draw that kind of response.

Ray We were promised notes for the first class. What happened? I know you are not busy or anything. You need to take this up with Dennis/Andy. But I think that the notes from the recent class would be better to have, as they cover the same ground in greater detail plus some new ground, and have mor...

Welcome aboard! :D There's good news coming for you in version 8.0, when the services layer will have total LDAP connectivity. As for 7.5, since I have no experience with LDAP, I must leave that for others to answer. May I draw your attention to the fact that this is an all-volunteer site? We just d...

Check the restartability options in the job sequence's job properties, expecially automatic handling of restart after failure. Read about how it works in on-line help or, if you're thus inclined, look through the generated job control code. Basically a checkpoint is kept of each successfully-complet...

Search for more on this, but specify Transform with a capital "T".

A new forum solely for folks that have attended the DSX Server to Parallel Transition class is desirable. It would help in disseminating any answers to questions, rather than having to maintain email lists.

I have not seen this at all. Involve your support provider. I suspect you're going to have to do some investigative work on your system. Does it happen from all clients, or only one? Can you execute the following commands to verify that the DS_ROUTINES table is intact? SELECT COUNT(*) FROM D...

NO. ProfileStage was previously a product called MetaRecon. It got the new name when it was acquired by Ascential. In the next release (8.0) the ProfileStage name disappears into an IBM product called Information Analyzer.

Merci beaucoup

In the SDK routines there is a class of routines for converting to the expected date format for a number of different databases. You should be able to use one of these without reinventing the wheel. Open the routine and read the documentation (yes, they are documented!), to work out how to invoke th...

It may be sufficient just to concatenate the files together using an operating system command (such as type in Windows or cat in UNIX). Any reason you can't use the SQL Server bulk loader? If you can, then these text files could serve as the dat files, with no need for additional processing, hashed ...

Spelling!!!

The only reason for this is that the variable is not available in parallel jobs. If it were it could only mean "the row number on this processing node" - for N processing nodes there would be N instances of row #1. You need a better strategy in parallel execution - there are a few from which to sele...

In a world where people expect instant gratification one day can be a very long time indeed.
