It's the logical approach. Your Windows Designer code needs to be able to translate those double byte character hex codes and present to you that special symbol. Just because the back end server can speak double byte, when you want to eyeball the data via View Data, you need your GUI to also properl...

You will need to modify the character set on your WINDOWS client to be able to show the characters.

it's not the datastage side that was of any issue. It is the coupling of both products that I needed assistance on. And no, I have not had the time to get splunk feeding off of the LSF logs. I do not want to make a datastage log parser since the act of extracting a log is something I want to avoid. ...

Running and HUNG are hard to distinguish. I would simply look for "ps -ef | grep DSD.RUN | grep jobname". But that will only tell you that the job is active on the box. Not any in-depth status. Mind you, the other query will only tell you that it is currently running also, not if it is pro...

Don't get rid of the id, create it in your LDAP land and ensure that it has the same UID.

We install with local, then switch it to LDAP/QAS afterwards.

Works just fine.

Just make sure the UID is the same.

Did you expose the engine tier mounts to those hosts?

Did someone try to delete the install path manually?

Did you source dsenv before doing the uninstall?

What debugging have you tried so far?

Did you think about doing a manual uninstall? (instructions are found on the web, just google it)

what is your row length? Rows per second is ... a tricky beasty. It's really bytes per second that is your speed. You simply care about rows because it is convenient to look at. 2000 rows per second at 10 bytes per row is horrible. 2000 rows per second at 4K bytes per row is not so bad. Remember tha...

I forgot to mention the DSODB data also has references to the hostname. You would have to address that if you care about it.

fake out zone1 host to zone2 ip address via dsnname ? ugly but it might work, unless something hard codes IP addresses in datastage. a backup of all project assests and reinstall might be best.

Not sure if this works but you can try it:

back up DSParms.
protect a project
then diff the files.

Setting might be in there, not sure.

Not sure why you want 9.1 cert, shoot for 11.3 or 11.5 if anything.

If you are padding a resume, someone with 11.X will be put ahead in the line over someone with 9.1.

You should create a generic script that accepts project, job and invocation id of a desired target. The script should execute a reset of the job. That way you can run your regular external job scheduler which most often has an ON DEMAND ability. The reset would execute as your Production Batch ID th...
