DSXchange

What are the values of the system environment variables INCLUDE, LIB and LIBPATH ? Have you installed the Platform SDK as per the installation instructions?

What the OP really wants, vamsi.4a6, is a WebSphere TX map. This is NOT a requirement for a DataStage solution. That's why it's in the TX forum.

Start with "get the metadata for .spps data" (whatever that is). That should give you sufficient clue. It may be more maintainable to separate the reading and parsing phases, by reading each line as a single string and performing the parsing step(s) in a downstream Transformer stage.

The reverse sounds pretty horrible too!

Welcome aboard.

On UNIX you can probably get away without mentioning an SMTP client; each UNIX machine can typically act as its own mail client, unless that functionality has been specifically disabled.

You need to think through your "solutions" more thorougly.

If you want to use Min and Max on dates in the Aggregator stage you have to set the Preserve Type property.

Which (exact) stage type are you using?

I'm not aware of any public documentation. Sounds like a good question for IBM, maybe through developrWorks, maybe through a PMR. Maybe some kind (and knowledgable) IBMer will pick up this thread.

First question is about resources. Are the production and non-production environments identical (CPU power, memory, disk space)?

Buffer sizes propagate when objects are newly created but not otherwise. There's no link - last one configured wins.

Are the subsidiary Job activities set up for "reset if required, then run"?

The readme for the rollup patch indicates that patch JR41793 is included.

The joys of being on the bleeding edge!
