More complete answer: from the Administrator client Command window for the project. Alternative answer: from the TCL prompt on the server, which you need to get to via telnet then invoke when attached to your project directory (and having run the $DSHOME/dsenv script) using the uv or uvsh command.

First thing to check is whether the dsrpcd process is running.

Code: Select all

ps -ef | grep dsrpcd | grep -v grep


If it's not running, you need to find out why. Search the forum for dsrpc, netstat and debugging to get some techniques.

But, if you really, really wanted to, you'd need an appropriate DEFFUN declaration

Code: Select all

DEFFUN ExecSH(InputArg, ErrorCode) Calling "DSU.ExecSH"
ExecSH is in DSU (not DSD or DSG) because it is supplied as an example of user-written before/after routine.

Code: Select all

SELECT NAME FROM DS_JOBS WHERE JOBNO = 'xxx';

Every DataStage job has a unique number, and the mapping is in the DS_JOBS table.
Beware that the SQL is case sensitive.

Nothing on Windows automatically uses other than the current drive. Why did you think DataStage would be an execption? You can specify the location of a hashed file in two ways: by creating it in a folder on the F: drive by creating a DataStage account (project) on the F: drive and specifying that t...

Quotes inside quotes can sometimes be detected by counting the quote characters - if the number is odd you've got a problem. Unfortunately if the number is even, you still may have a problem - two problems! If you know how many character string fields there should be (call it N) then there should be...

Get to a TCL prompt (or use the Administrator client Command window). Use SETFILE to create a VOC pointer to the hashed file if necessary. Query the hashed file from here as follows. SELECT Field1, Field2 FROM UNNEST hashedfile ON Field2; Let us know what you get there. This will isolate the cause e...
