Things that appear to be "random" are not often so random.....hopefully there is a pattern that you can detect, such as the parentage and how the particular values are arranged for each of those independent nodes. Not an easy thing to discern necessarily --- do you have independent re-grou...

Look thru the forum. Many/most of these questions have been answered, in various contexts. Some of it is historical, and some is purely functional (for example, I use UV Stages to do very creative pivoting, and there are lots of customers who have applications written on UV --- and yes, it could als...

Indeed...there are probably a whole lot of resources for Neteeza....but from where I sit, it is a very hot commodity right now. It's a very popular "appliance" for doing decision support, and it competes very well in its space. New stages and capabilities have been added to DataStage becau...

hard to say....does the xsd have multiple import or include statements? If so, you won't get clean validation of the schema until you import each of its individual pieces....or if they are in a single zip file, point to that when doing the initial import. I can't recall, but there may be patches bey...

The feature is built into the MQ Connector or MQ Stage --- you can ask it to stop automatically when you send in your own custom "stop message". It uses a message type that you specify....I usually use a long number such as 9999899.

Exactly what release? (there were issues in initial 8.5.0 and you will need patches...

Also what size? How large is this xsd?

Also, have you tried other xsd's...small, simple ones just to validate the buttons and the methodology?

Had this error today, and it threw me for a few moments until I took a guess and thought it might be an encoding issue. I entirely removed encoding=UTF8 from the header and things started working perfectly. I don't know if this was a problem with the document, the release of DataStage, something els...
