Start by disabling operator combination so you can learn which stage (operator) is actually throwing the error.

How about DataStage SQL?

Code: Select all

DELETE FROM DS_JOBS WHERE NAME = '\\\\Jobs\03 DATAMART\16 LCD\Sequencer';
Part of the problem is that the backslash character can also be treated as a quote character.

Not true, because Cognos is not part of the Information Server suite. You have to manually import Cognos reports, queries, BI models and physical models using a bridge.

Use Metadata Asset Manager (version 8.7) or istool (earlier versions) and one of the IBM Cognos BI Content Manager bridges. There are three, one for all components, one for models only, one for reports only.

You missed the quotes.

Code: Select all

DELETE DS_JOBS '\\\\Jobs\03 DATAMART\16 LCD\Sequencer' 
You can also use a Select List

Code: Select all

SELECT DS_JOBS WITH NAME LIKE "...16 LCD..."
DELETE DS_JOBS REQUIRE.SELECT

Note that, in the first syntax (overwrite the multivalued field completely), the angle brackets and commas are part of the syntax.

As with any ANSI-standard SQL, non-numeric values need to be surrounded by single-quote characters.

Yes, I do, and I daresay Ernie does too. The Query functionality is very clearly explained in the online help, in the Information Center, and in the Metadata Workbench User manual.

There are two syntaxes - one that completely overwrites the multi-valued field and one that inserts a new value into the multi-valued field. The first is INSERT INTO tablename (@ID, mvfieldname) VALUES (keyvalue, <mv1,mv2,mv3>); The second uses dynamic normalization INSERT INTO tablename_association...

Auto-purge is not triggered if the job fails. Auto-purge is only triggered if the job status is "Finished" or "Finished (see log)".

If you're an Administrator you could temporarily unprotect the project.
