DSXchange

Try using the first and last event ID options to limit the detailed entries to only the range of event numbers that you want to capture.

Assuming it is a bug of some sort vs. a setting change: Get onto your server(s), or ask your admin, to examine the first page or so of the Version.xml file. The default UNIX path for this file is /opt/IBM/InformationServer, however yours may be in a different path. In there you will find specificall...

The option you mentioned is there in version 11.3.1.0 but not in 8.7.0.0; not sure when it was first introduced into the dscc command... There are plenty of other commands in 8.7 that support the authfile option. Here is the 11.3.1 usage. /? Show program usage /af (value) Pathname of file containing...

That is correct! Hence the "update" to provide updated information. :D

Rather than listing and looping, consider using a wildcard in the Sequential file stage to process them all at once, such as *.txt.

A few years ago I tested to verify how many files AIX was able to store in a single directory (I think it was a jfs2 file system) and it was able to store exactly 32K files. No idea is Windows file system has any similar limit... I would assume DataStage can easily store such a file listing in memor...

The part that jumps out at me as being significant:

Error when checking composite operator: Failure forking subprocess: No such file or directory.

Did you choose to automatically overwrite upon import?

Is there a pop up window behind what you see, or perhaps on a 2nd monitor?

The dsadmin -protectproject command can only set a project to being protected or unprotected. How can one simply display the project protection status from the command line, or perhaps grep it from some file, without setting it one way or another? I have tried toggling the setting via DS Administra...

Update:

In newer releases, there is a command line option to toggle the project protection setting.

The -protectproject option has a TRUE or FALSE argument required.

Often times when the server is very remote (i.e. high network latency), the best option is to stand up remote Windows desktops for the Client tier, in the same data center / on the same remote network as the server. Remote desktop into those machines to do all your client work.

Use the same general rule as deciding when to sort using the Sort stage vs. using an ORDER BY clause in your query. It depends mainly on the processing power, the degree of parallelism, and the amount of resource contention at the time the job runs on your DataStage server vs. on the database server...

I doubt that level of customization is achievable within DataStage. I would imagine that you could write your own front end user interface using visual basic, or any language, and behind the scene your program could invoke the dsjob command. It may be more effort than it's worth. Within DataStage, s...
