In Director, choose Print from the Project menu. Choose the items and level (summary or detail) that you want. Check the Print to File check box. Nominate the file into which you want the logged events written. (Your original post did not specify "automatically" nor give any reason for your requirem...

Depends. They paying overtime? They paying by the hour?

Inspect the code for ExecDOS in the Routines branch. If the exit status of the command (ERRORLEVEL in DOS terminology) is other than zero, the job will be aborted because the ErrorCode argument will be set to that non-zero value. You need to determine what the exit status of your command is. Perhaps...

You'd perhaps be surprised at how few external routines you can get away with using if your knowledge of what's available in the product is comprehensive. I agree that there's a need for something like the SDK suite for parallel jobs; such a suite is indicative of a mature product - it took some yea...

Can you be more specific? There is no mention of a parameter file in the Mainframe Job Developer's Guide - in my experience you simply use the same Parameters grid in the job properties window as you do with other job types. In particular refer to pages A-15 and A-16 of that manual.

Have you read the Chapter on Custom Stages in the manual? It takes you through an example of a Wrapper stage.

Point out to "them" how much they've spent on the software. To be parsimonious with resources defeats the purpose and value of that investment. Without knowing your exact requirement it's difficult to say what's the best approach. The one you propose is OK, but will take 10-12 times as long to proce...

Welcome aboard! :D

An EXCELLENT first post!

There is an EBCDIC map (more than one, in fact, for Japanese). The problem is that you have not loaded this map. You build and load NLS maps using the Administrator client. I usually advise re-starting DataStage after loading additional maps or locale definitions, so as to be sure that they get load...

Your expectations are based on a modulus algorithm, so why not use that? You can not assert that a hashing algorithm will produce the same results as a modulus algorithm - hashing algorithms incorporate extra processing to try to guarantee repeatably-random but even allocation.

Welcome aboard. :D

You can, indeed, use wildcard characters. Read the on-line help.

Why would a C routine on Windows be any different from the same C routine on UNIX? Unless, of course, it interacts with the file system (pathnames are different) - but the whole goal of parallel jobs is to keep data in memory (virtual Data Sets) as much as possible.

Either of those options will do it, or using Entire partitioning. Make sure you throw large hardware at it in the latter case.

The quickest solution is to stop and restart UNIX. That MUST unbind the port (given your employer I'm assuming you're not on a Tru64 cluster). Otherwise it's a long and tedious process to identify the process associated with the CLOSE_WAIT (or FIN_WAIT or FIN_WAIT2) state so that you can remove it. ...

It wants your Transformer stage to have a rejects (other/log) output link.
