Dealing with hashed file corruption is the same whether the hashed file is static or dynamic. Prevention is better than cure; monitor to ensure they don't go over, say, 1.5GB. Once they do, RESIZE to 64-bit addressing, and question why they're so large. Monitor disk space; set alarms to send email a...

It can also mean that someone has cleared the job's status file.
This is the hashed file (RT_STATUSnnn) in the Repository from which Director gets the status.

The cost of QualityStage is probably less than the nine months worth of salaries they've already spent (wasted?).

Even though you're on Windows, Isabelle, there's no reason not to use UNIX utilities. By installing software such as MKS Toolkit you get robust, tested, Windows-based UNIX utilities. (There are also free and shareware versions out there; a search on Google should find them for you.)

Small pedantic point. Surrogate keys don't need to be a sequence of numbers, they don't even have to be numbers; all they have to be is unique within the table. It happens that generating a sequence of integers is the easiest way to achieve this, and that integers are maximally efficient for joins. ...

$DATABASE Enterprise stage is the stage that connects to that database and runs in Enterprise Edition (that is, parallel jobs). OCI is a stage type that uses the Oracle Client Interface software to connect to Oracle. ODBC is a stage type that uses an ODBC driver to connect to a data source. You nee...

Don't you somehow think that "drop = FALSE" means "keep"?

QualityStage is what you really need for name and address matching. It's the main thing that QualityStage does. Standardizing within QualityStage puts tokens into appropriate "buckets", such as lastname, firstname, title, generation (senior, junior, III, etc), streetname, streettype (ST, RD, Ave, et...

Parallel processing (of which data partitioning is one example) can also overload a system and therefore result in decreased performance. You have to be careful not to demand more resources than can be delivered.

No problem, set up your output constraints to take the extra condition into account.

Only the clients can "co-exist". And, even then, only one can be active at any one time. You can switch between them. While you can install both versions of the server, without a substantial amount of tweaking (for example changing the naming rules for shared memory segments) only one can run at any...

Create the routine in the routines branch of the repository. You will need to learn some BASIC statements, among them the ones for working with files in sequential mode: OpenSeq WeofSeq and/or Seek WriteSeq CloseSeq Search the forum. Read on-line help and the DataStage BASIC manual. Post again if yo...

Simply edit the long description field (job properties) and remove those lines.

Did you notice that there's been no response from Editor, even though you posted on the Editor's Corner forum? Editor just doesn't have the technical knowledge you have ascribed to him! The reason Arnd posted the column definitions for DS_AUDIT is that they can't be imported; they, like all Reposito...

Can you be more specific about what you mean by the "version control log"? For example, are you referring to the version information added to the long description by Version Control when promoting, or some other log?
