Include the duplicates with UNION ALL instead of UNION - should remove your objection to UNION.

Icons can also default to that "power socket" icon when the client machine is running out of memory. You need to open the stage properties to determine what kind of stage it is. And use Task Manager to spot the memory hog! Of course, that does not help with the "unable to CATALOG" problem, which I'v...

Yep. Floating point numbers (such as pi) can not, by definition, be stored with infinite precision in a finite number of bits. Therefore comparisons between them may not be exact. To get around this, DataStage uses a "close enough" algorithm (called "wide zero"). It is set up in uvconfig as a mask o...

"Error in filter command /xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx.sh" seems fairly obvious as a diagnosis. Do you have execute permission to the shell script? Does the shell script exit with a status code of other than zero?

Maybe dssh would be better than uvsh, even though they're presently the same executable.

My comment: my opinion sounds right :lol:

Take Sherlock Holmes's advice; eliminate one factor at a time. Or heed Occam's Razor - don't go looking for unnecessarily complicated explanations.

Code: Select all

cd $DSHOME && . ./dsenv && bin/uv "SELECT @ID, PATH FMT '60L' FROM UV.ACCOUNT WHERE @ID NOT IN ('UV', 'uv') AND @ID NOT LIKE 'HS.%';" > /tmp/projects

Modify the WHERE clause to suit your requirements.

Do you preserve the bulk loader data file created by DataStage? If so, does it contain all the rows? If so, the problem is in loading Sybase IQ, and you need to check the bulk loader log file to find out why.

By default, the *.adm files aren't present. And you won't see them even if they are, unless you enable listing of hidden files (for example ls -la .*.adm ) The files are brought into use by using the Administrator client's Permissions tab. Or by using a text editor on the server. File name .develope...

DataStage (server) recognizes four data classes.
