Hence the reason some will run some free web server app on the same box.

The installer creates a single "dstage1" project by default and offers options to specify additional projects to be created during the install. Don't bother with that. There is a command line tool you can use to create/delete/modify projects, but Craig's point is you don't delete project f...

The command line Eric listed in the other topic did work as expected for me.

I forgot to mention it worked fine when I used it on 8.5 (may have been 8.7). I did have my host name in uppercase followed by colon and engine port number.

Another difference is I gave project name alone and not prefixed by server name with a slash.

Welcome to DSXchange...

No, that is not a supported operating system at all. (I think you're the third person to ask this week.) Please refer to the system requirements before installing, otherwise you can expect to encounter problems.

The good news is I can tell you where to stick it... :lol: The bad news is that it's not ideal. I attempted that on BG 8.5 once. The WAS and all the java ear stuff is convoluted if you ask me. It does not function like any traditional web server. I tried updating various logo_ibm.gif files on the se...

Why can't we export the log from director and import back again to Director? Assuming you mean through the GUI, I would guess it's simply because IBM and previous DataStage owner companies have not had enough demand to develop such a feature. Here's another idea: Importing job log entries could cre...

SUBSTRINGS could work as given above in a BASIC Transformer of a parallel job... If starting character is given as zero then a 1 will actually be used instead. But there's no need to complicate matters. :lol: You can also use Left(col, 1) to get the first character. To get the Nth character use col[...

The original post is somewhat vague it the example looks like SQL, in which the % sign is a wildcard representing zero or more of any character, and also in which the _ is a wildcard representing any one character (standard SQL). If you want to match on the % sign literally then use Kandy's first ex...

I think it should not give the SSC stage name in the list at all. It should give the stages names that are defined within the SSC instead. Those may be prefixed with the SSC stage name and a period. I took a look at your scenario by using the dsjob command, one with the -lstages option and another w...

Join stage requires sorted inputs.

Did you have some question about the performance? Is the job performing poorly?

Great idea. I did hear about using Director from a "PDA" way back before smart phones. I think capability existed but may have been in beta and never released (?). 8.7 does have the web-based DataStage Operations Console. I have not tried accessing it from my Android yet. Not sure it's pos...

In the default dsenv file:

DSHOME is set and used in the library path but not in PATH.

In fact, PATH is not in the file at all.

It must be corrupted, unless it's simply lacking execute permissions. Did you run the update as the root user? I would double check all instructions were followed and if so, then contact support with the error.

Potentially very dangerous... be careful!
