This technote describes two possibilities that you and/or your UNIX team could look into, the first of which is a disk space shortage. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21457724 Your free disk space is also at the mercy of all other jobs that are sharing the same disk at the same time...

Now that you mention it, I recall seeing that same warning a few years ago, wondering if I should be concerned, and then promptly forgot about it.

Correct!

Do you need to retract your earlier statement? "a DATE is a Date is a date"

Ha Ha Ha! When I first read that, I thought to myself, "yeah, except in Oracle..."

The 8.7 px job guide says that config file comments need to be in C style /* ..... */ format. I've not tested comments to know what really works, if any.

Thanks for sharing. The terminology caused us quite a bit of first-time confusion before we understood it well enough to request firewalls to be opened in a reverse of normal direction.

There is one technote about this, which has to do with toggling the unicode column property in each DRS stage.

It sounds like a defect. There is a DataStage 11.3.x core/client rollup patch 2 available for download on IBM Support Fix Central. You may want to check and see if it's already applied in your environment or not. If not, download it and review the README file. If there's no match, open a Support cas...

In that case, the web console is the place to manage your users. The internal user registry does not support any password policies, such as password length, mix of characters, re-use, expiration, etc. As far as I know, this is still the case even on the current version of 11.3.1. Hopefully one day t...

It depends. Which of the 3 user registry types your DataStage server is configured to use? What version are you running?

We had run into firewall issues like this on 8.7. I do not care for the "backwardness" of this interfaces, where the "server" runs on the client and the actual Information Server has to initiate a connection to the client. I would hope in a future release that the arrangement bec...

Try square brackets.

Back to Ray's questions: any Transformer constraint or DB2 reject link?

My suggestion was that you could generate whatever values you need to in a User Variables stage of a Sequence job. The Oconv() function is just one example that you could use. Normally you would use Oconv() along with Date() and possibly Time() in order to generate a custom timestamp format, which y...

It seems like the exam vendor changes back and forth every time I check, so I would guess the policies change a lot too.
