The no space on device message indicates your project is sitting on a file system that is full. You're also dangerously close to corrupting your project, as well as other projects on that same filesystem. Immediately cease running any jobs, creating or changing jobs, and do an immediate export of th...

If multiple files are inside an archived file format, you are going to have a lot of trouble doing a simple uncompression into a Sequential stage. The filter command has to return streaming output to a pipe, that's its mechanism. You have to uncompress but not to a file, but to stdout. Furthermore, ...

A few new pictures at 8:30pm.

Try to stick with one pass thru the file. Consider reading the entire line using a sequential stage using 1 column of metadata. Pass the entire line to a function you will write. In that function, look at the specific field that contains the data of interest. Loop thru the count of delimiters, and b...

It appears that your job is logging events for MetaStage. The command activity, MSevents, all points that way. I'm probably not the right person to be helping, but that is what appears to be happening.

Write to two separate files and then concatenate when finished using an after-stage or after-job routine call.

It seems you're having an issue with a Sequence job. It appears to be logging that something is being started but it can't do the logging. My guess is that you might be using MetaStage to receive process metadata, but I can't be sure. My box of donuts guess is that you have a fully loaded system wit...

Because your links are not "balanced", you're seeing a link timeout because it's not getting any data. While you would like the product to understand that sometimes this situation occurs, you need to be a little practical and adjust for this fact. There are situations when the timeout works in your ...

You're really looking at a realtime usage, consider TX as your solution. Otherwise, you're talking about "micro-batch" ETL , or small batch runs repetitively.

As far as moving the files around, that's up to you to manage. All of the flavours of DataStage deal with the content of files, not the moving of files. So, you're pretty much going to write your own processes to facilitate file arrival detection, movement, validation, etc. There's no inherent funct...

I will update throughout the day with new pics as time permits.

New picture as of 8:30EST.

Philly would have been great! No west coast trip for a Florida guy then. 3 years ago it was in Miami, but I couldn't go that year because of work commitments.

The best conference EVER was in Orlando in 2000, back when it was Informix. The go-go dancers in silver skirts and knee high boots were AWESOME. The T-shirt give away on opening morning was a stampede. It was classic. This year looks pretty calm from the first impression. I don't think there will be...

The batteries went dead on the digital camera, I'm going to see if I can scrounge some up. I'll get some pretty pictures up today sometime.

Monday morning is the 2 hour pre-game show with Wayne Brady. I'm standing in the booth right now doing other things whilst everyone is at the show. The masses shall descend around 11:00am west coast time.
