DSXchange

What is blocking it is that they have not yet implemented the "itag" functionality that used to be available in version 7.5 and earlier, where each instance could be given a separate "itag" (during installation) that was used to construct its shared memory keys, etc.

I'm getting ready to install 8.5 at a new client site. The 8.5 manual states that someone with Author or higher role can access all terms in all categories. The client isn't totally happy with that.

What stage type are you using? Does it have a property that causes an error to be recorded as fatal?

I too have no idea what you mean by the "facts" of a job.

1. No. DataStage does not use log files. Job logs are stored in database tables. There is a separate log table in the local repository for each job. The name of that table is RT_LOGnnn, where nnn is the job number from DS_JOBS table. 2. MDM does not mean anything in DataStage. MDM usually means Mast...

Does your Oracle allow VARCHAR2 to be that large?

You may need to specify LONG VARCHAR2

Within the Aggregator stage you have Preserve Type and Default Decimal Output properties that can override the default of calculating using Double (dfloat) data type.

Note that I don't have access to DataStage this week - I'm preparing a site to install it - so the property names are from memory.

I would suspect that the database territory US that you've specified for DB2 would have trouble with Chinese characters.

Can you please advise what the NLS settings for DataStage (particularly the database connectivity stages) are?

No - just right click on a stage. The pop-up menu should include an option to show where records come from.

I like to keep two backups. The BAT file deletes the older, renames the newer (to the "older" naming convention) then runs dscmdexport to perform the project backup. That BAT file could, if required, be invoked from another that processes the output of a dsjob "list projects" com...

It is not possible to use the same installation directory for multiple installations. It is also not possible, in versions 8.x thus far, to install more than one instance of the non-client tiers on the same machine.

So what you seem to be saying is that WEOFSEQ is not truncating the file?

Try using the OpenSequentialFile routine.

It would be useful to be able to keep some Authors out of some Categories!

Can you please supply more details about the blocking fields and match rules used for each pass?

Yes, and your reference data set will come from the BEST_NAME table.
Tip: store standardized forms and frequencies in indexed columns in the BEST_NAME table or in a companion table to it.
