Probably the easiest is to look at the Version.xml file in the installation directory. There is a products list in this file.

Otherwise start the console. If you have both IA and ISD both will be mentioned on the startup screen.

This scrambling can happen if the code page of the client on which you're viewing the file is not the same as that of the operating system on which the JCL is stored.

Topic: Does IS 8.7 requires license.xml file
Replies: 1

The method has changed again. No license file is required. You install only what you have purchased, via a product selection screen/menu in the installer. The result is logged in the install log, Version.xml and elsewhere. IBM trusts you. If you install more than your entitlement, and fail an audit ...

Topic: Parameter Set Issue
Replies: 4
Views: 1232

Using "DBSlogin" as a value causes DataStage to look for a Values File called DBSlogin. The value supplied for a Parameter Set can only be "(As pre-defined)" or the name of a Values File. DBSlogin is only the name of the Parameter Set - never its value (unless, of course, you hav...

Naming conventions? Ha! :wink: Where Used was (and I assume still is) a toolbar icon that becomes active when an object is selected. It looks like a flask from a chemistry set from what I recall. Might even be a right-click option now for all I know. Really shouldn't be all that hard to find. The f...

I have finished at that site, so can not confirm or deny whether all properties are received for each query item - nor even if they use tool tips at all.

I can't tell from here. You must have it investigated locally. Has anything changed? (Don't take no for an answer.)

This really is a "how long is a piece of string?" question. How complex is the XML. Do they really mean "exponentially" and have they figures to prove it? For some XML there certainly is the potential to generate a large amount of storage requirement, particularly if types are sp...

Perform a comparison against a locally-connected client. I suspect you'll find that the Citrix configuration is the cause.

No. But, then, I answered the question you asked.

The new question has an even easier answer. Select the Pivot stage in the Repository and perform a "where used" analysis (also known as an "impact" analysis). DataStage itself will give you your list.

What exact version are you running? Is this just your client machine or everyone's? How is your client connected to the server?
