Assuming that the Scheduler service is running (the error message suggests you've got as far as trying to execute an AT command), the text of the message indicates a problem in DataStage. That there's "garbage after the time specification" in the AT command is something you need to take up with your...

Presume you're using a Lookup stage here. Are you on 7.5 or an earlier version?

You could have had a more robust script, that only generated an exit status of 0 if absolutely everything was OK. You can use DataStage BASIC functions to access a database, but you will need to purchase an ODBC driver licence. Don't be fooled by the fact that it works with the DataStage-supplied dr...

From the same list that you get DBMSCODE (the list of output link variables) choose LASTERR. This contains the error text.

Would you care to share the solution that you have, Yamini?

You could also create a TX map that references the join within DB2. Provided, of course, that you have DataStage TX and the TX plug-in stage installed.

At worst, import them again, and watch the progress carefully.

Yes.

But it would be more helpful if you were to post the entire line out of the ps report, so the explanation would be clearer.

Sure. It's basically a 'switch' managed from the Administrator client. I was able to lock jobs from delete by changing the permissions on the internal files of the jobs. I tried this on some test jobs. Seems to work. As long as I use chmod -R 544 on the *220(220 my job num,which will include RT_LOG...

Why do you think that's a bug?

You don't specify the "$" in C's getenv() function. Why should the C-based parallel Transformer stage be different?

It's the primary task of the Modify stage to convert data types. You need one of the ..._from_string functions, where ... represents the appropriate numeric data type, for example dfloat_from_string().

Post ideas, requests, and comments regarding content and structure of the FAQs forum here. I don't think this is really the correct forum. Since you're new, I won't be as harsh as normal (no pun intended). The Development project is where you do your development. Then you move it into a test/QA env...

Will this scale to N nodes for N > 2 ?

There are quite a few errors in the Modify stage chapter of the Parallel Job Developer's Guide, which seems to have been written by someone who used to design server jobs. Always check with the Orchestrate Operators manual.

Report it to your support provider. ds_ipcgetnext() is an internal function.

Disable row buffering and don't use IPC or Link Partitioner/Collector stages to make the error go away.
