Maybe the answer lies in tnsnames.ora. Your Oracle DBA should be able to advise you on configuring the Oracle client (that is, DataStage), since you're only required to make this change because of the service name change.

(I'm a little surprised that you don't need to change sqlnet.ora.)

That's too simplistic to my mind. "Validation" will (should) tell you which one is wrong.

Use the format.conv (also known as fnuxi ) or uvbackup command to export the hashed files; this will also move their VOC entries. When restoring, use format.conv or fnuxi or uvrestore respectively.

Note also that reports themselves are not imported into the repository; what the bridge retrieves is the report definition - it is possible, for example, to build a Cognos role that does not permit retrieval of data at all, but which can be used in conjunction with the bridge to retrieve report, que...

Check permissions in the DataStage project. Check that the disk on which the project directory resides is not full or a quota there is not exceeded. Check that you have write permission to the VOC in the project. Learn some troubleshooting skills.

There's also a Ctrl-Z in there, fairly early. This is the DOS end-of-file mark. You shouldn't be reading past this character (on Windows) but, since you're on UNIX where Ctrl-Z has no particular meaning, the operating system is merrily reading bytes until it encounters a UNIX end-of-file character (...

My guess is that the problem is the "#" character in the password. Check the documentation (or Information Center) about handling special characters in passwords.

Depending on the database, there should be a function called something like RAWTOHEX. Use that in a user-defined SELECT statement.
