The Siebel PACK for DataStage gives you several ways to get data in and out of Siebel: - Direct Access Stage takes data directly from Siebel tables and provides an interface for browsing Siebel tables, accessing Siebel metadata and recommending SQL joins and delta filters. - Enterprise Integration M...

I think you should let anyone create new polls in a poll forum and two polls should always show up on the home page. The most popular all time poll and the most popular poll created in the last month.

There is an SOA services director (in version , an XML input/transform/output pack, a web server file slick pack for processing web server stats, there are utilities that help run and check jobs from a browser.

I recall a presentation at an Information on Demand conference about how this can be done using the SOA version of DataStage. It can pick a server to run on at the job startup time and get by if one server is down. Works with server or parallel jobs.

AuditStage functionality is going to be merged into the Information Analyzer product, but until then you can get it bundled with certain Information Server products.

Since you have a lot of server edition skills on the team it makes sense to leave all small to medium volume jobs as server jobs and only convert the high volume jobs. Prior to version 8 the server jobs start and stop a lot faster. A server job is only going to take up a small part of one CPU and so...

When I tried local OS authentication I could use the Information Server console but could not log in through DataStage - however I was on unsupported Windows 2000. With internal authentication everything worked okay.

Parallel transformers are very trigger happy at dropping anything that tries to use a null. It could be your ELSE statement that is dropping the row (even though a null shouldn't trigger it). I would use NullToValue and choose something for null values that cannot appear in the field, like a -1, and...

QualityStage 8 jobs are now the same as DataStage 8 jobs. You can try to stop them using the Stop button on the Director tool. Sometimes a process keeps going regardless, you could try "Cleanup Resources" from the Job menu to see if you can kill off the processes and locks.

You could give us the serialized version of 10,001 Green Bottles of Beer on the Wall.

Craig, hurry up and post 10,000 replies so you can pass Ray without him noticing.

How about a poll on who is thinking of going to Information on Demand 2007.

I don't mean to offend because it is a good looking website. It's just that one of the models look a lot like Mr Bean! I've been poking around, enjoyed the IOD2006 shots. I think it needs a blog, but then again I think everything needs a blog these days!

Goto www.kennethbland.com and watch it spin. The DSXchange is the non-spinning one.

Spinning logo is good. What is Mr Bean doing on your home page?
The yellow Duke Consulting logo is good, kind of like the batman signal, but the Griffin is best.

Not coming from a C++ background I try to do things in the Transformer first or via the use of lookups for more dynamic business rules. I can see the value of buildops for modular and reusable complex functions but haven't had that need yet. If you want a step through of creating buildops have a loo...
