Wrong. You can sum(column) and sum(dummy) in the same Aggregator using the same grouping. If your data are sorted by the grouping fields and you specify Group as the aggregation mode, then your job will be maximally performant.

sum(dummy) is the equivalent of COUNT if dummy=1

Welcome aboard. Stripped of the DataStage-specific information what you're seeing here is a regular SOAP fault. Consult the documentation for the web service you're invoking to identify the known SOAP faults that it generates and their likely causes and remedies. Try invoking from a different utilit...

Doesn't seem inelegant to me. You could investigate the Split Vector stage.

I guess the other issue for a new site is the possibility of maintaining two skill sets rather than one, though it's fair to say that there's a good deal of overlap.

How is the secret key's location identified when using it outside of DataStage? You need to work that into the DataStage design too. For example it may accept an environment variable that contains the pathname of the key file.

The short answer is that Information Server uses a service oriented architecture where pretty much everything you do involves invoking a service, for example the login/security service, the metadata delivery service, and so on. These services are exposed by a dedicated instance of WebSphere Applicat...

You could have it (the sequence) start multiple sub-sequences each invoking the routine. Sub-sequences are forked as child processes of t...

You specified Null Field Value for CTSIFA as " " but the data contains "". I think this is at the heart of your problem. Try specifying Null Field Value as "" (and the data type as VarChar if necessary).

Looks like your two repositories are out of sync. The SyncProject utility (part of ISA Lite) should solve this for you.
