Convert the table definition imported from the copybook into a shared table definition in DataStage, then it should be visible in FastTrack. You will still need to add it to any FastTrack project in which you want to use it.

Are you constructing the job name as an expression and somehow omitting the dot that separates base name from invocation ID?

Use the -jobstatus option instead of the -wait option in your dsjob command.

Might someone else have been playing with the dictionary file?

What exactly does this error code mean?

Solve that, and you will solve your problem - don't do what is causing the error.

For a fixed-width format sequential file, the Null Field Value must have the same number of characters as is specfied as the field width.

And you should (can) not have VarChar data types in a fixed-width file.

Welcome aboard. To solve this one you need to specify the last field number as the third argument of the Field() function. This is most easily found by counting the delimiter characters - and adding one if you want the very last field. Right(Field(lnk_read_gxm_src.agent, "/", Count(lnk_rea...

There are no two-byte EBCDIC characters. It is a single-byte character set. Perhaps you need to review how your data are encoded.

How can you have records from the input if the table is missing?

There's usually a port number clash of some kind when you're on a Windows server. Try disabling the Windows telnet service, and making sure that the DataStage telnet service (dstelnet) is running. If that turns out to be the cure, configure one or the other to use some port other than 23. For exampl...

You can use the profile of the credentialled user, the dsenv script, the global profile (/etc/profile) or you can use the DataStage and QualityStage Administrator client to create the environment variable for the project.

I didn't actually have to do any of that. DataStage took care of the line terminators while reading the file - the constraint expression did not pass any empty line.

The first problem/question is whether each user has a separate Engine credential. If they do, then you might be able to inspect the admin lock on the project - either view locks using Cleanup Resources in Director client or issue LIST.READU command from the Administrator client Command window or wit...
