DSXchange

Version 4 keys were of the form 0xace... Version 7 keys are of the form 0xade... So, yes, there would be no clash in shared memory identifiers. And the "location" file is /.uvhome versus /.dshome, so that's OK too. Not so sure about /.unishared, though - would version 7 pick this up if it were there...

And, of course, DRS can connect by some means that aren't otherwise available in PX (ODBC springs to mind, and SQL Server).

Job number 2 has not been cleanly deleted from the project. You need the Cleanup Project button that "they" have removed from the Adminstrator client. Since you don't have it, use the DS.TOOLS menu on the server, and execute options 2 and 4. At a pinch, use the CLEAN.ACCOUNT utility, which will crea...

The answer is actually YES, slightly longer than Arnd's answer.

In Director, go to Tools > Options and you will find that you can change the default values for limits there.

Phantom processes do not consume licences. The problem is probably one of the ones Sainath identified.

Version Control client is on your DataStage clients CD, separately installable (but no extra licensing). You will also need to create a separate project in which the versioned objects can be stored. The version number's minor number is incremented by a promotion (e.g. 50.0.0 to 50.1.0) UNLESS the te...

Yes you do. It's a check box, usually in the lower left-hand corner. But you need first to open the link properties window.

The resize command can be run from the operating system prompt, in which case it will accept a pathname.

Otherwise, for example when running from Administrator, you will need a VOC pointer. You can create one with SETFILE.

You will have to specify what you mean be "performance" before that question can be answered!

You need version 7.5x2 of DataStage to be able to run parallel jobs on Windows servers. You also need an ANSI-compliant C++ compiler (e.g. Visual Studio) if you plan to use Transformer stages or BuildOps.

QualityStage has its own real-time interface, represented and managed by qsrtmngr. You do not need the full RTI suite. You do need to make sure that qstrmngr is running. You can start it logged in as qsadm. Full instructions are in the manual.

You are correct. Note, also, that the ranges of ports reserved for communication with SAP may not all be in use, though it is not possible to predict which ones will be.

Not yet, anyway.

Slightly more efficient, so that you're not evaluating the Char functions for every row, would be to initialize two stage variables, say svChar10 and svChar13. The expression then becomes

Are you SURE it's a Carriage Return?
Could it be Line Feed?
Could it be a Windows line terminator (both)?
You can represent these by Char(13) and Char(10) in an expression such as
