Pressed for time would be my guess - "they" would have been applying immense pressure to push product out the door. Manuals can always be fixed in the next release.

There is no such thing as URGENT here.

If you have DataStage it's very easy to pre-process your data. It's more tedious to do using QualityStage stages, but in general it's possible.

Do you have DataStage?

Not possible if the jobs are running at the same time. This is an O/S restriction, not a DataStage restriction. If the jobs are run consecutively, use "Append" as the rule. Updating rows in a text file is very difficult, and can really only be done through the ODBC driver for text files (and will be...

I don't have this, so can't answer. What does the manual or on-line help tell you? Please post here so we can all know.

"Get" is the generic name of the method exposed by the passive stage and invoked by the active stage to retrieve the next row.
That it's "required" suggests that the plug-in has not properly registered its "Get" function.

So you really need Not(IsNull(In.Column))

The Template does not have a VOC and does not have any indexing. No, the problem has occurred when trying to create the indexes after copying the template the project. That's why I'm surprised there's no entry in UV.ACCOUNT - maybe it's removed if the install script doesn't complete successfully. Ca...

If you import the Table Definition from the COBOL FD, it will be stored in and displayable from the Repository as if it were SQL data types. There is a post way back of a function to dump table definitions in various forms, one of which is standard CREATE TABLE statements. Search for it; get back if...

my requirement is it use only the DaysSinceFromDate function Who made that a requirement? There is usually more than one way to achieve a result in DataStage, being forced to use one method may prevent your finding more efficient techniques. Neither did you tell us what the integer represents. Is i...

Welcome aboard! :D You can do both pipeline parallelism and partition parallelism in server jobs; it's just that it's more automatic in parallel jobs. In server jobs pipeline parallelism is mainly effected through row buffering (and/or IPC stages), and partition parallelism through either multi-inst...

A short history is in the book Ascential legal would not allow to be published.

Text files only have one data type. Text. :D

Is the Oracle instance running? For example can you connect to it using sqlplus from the ProfileStage machine? Indeed, is the Oracle client software installed and configured on that machine?

Not sure that it's documented anywhere, as it's a "paragraph" (the UniVerse word for a script). You can inspect its contents in lots of ways; it's an entry in the VOC file. For example LIST.ITEM VOC 'DS.REINDEX' This will show some logic to select which Repository tables will have their indices rebu...
