Check out the how-to-check-version link I put into the middle of this topic:

The issue I recall is a bit sketchy as it was around 2007 I would guess... I did not involve 7.5.3 at all but it's representative of what bad things can happen due to a client/server version mismatch. It was related to 7.5.1 vs. 7.5.1A and strange runtime problems. We spent many hours getting to the...

What date format is your incoming string in to begin with???

What inter process timeout setting values have you tried also? Those are set per project in Administrator.

Have you opened any support case after trying all the setting changes?

The LastRow() function added in 8.5 can be used to detect if the current row is the last row in the data, or the end of wave.

You would have to search in the DataDirect ODBC User's Guide for that release to find out for sure.

The PDF files should be available under the branded_odbc directory structure. Binary FTP them to your PC to review.

To set auto-purge project wide to existing jobs, export all the jobs and import with overwrite.

That recreates the jobs and applies the setting to each job upon import.

It looks like that patch was produced...

Check your ulimit settings by adding the ulimit -a Unix command to a before-job subroutine, running the job, and getting the output from the job log. It's not enough to run the command from a telnet session alone. Many or most ulimits settings should be "unlimited" for the server and in an...

I found this info in an old Orchestrate document, so it would stand to reason that time requires 5 bytes no matter what, and I still don't know how it's actually stored internally. In other words, time must always store microseconds whether you use them or not. The time data type has a size of 5 byt...

I think the point is that the pre-8 DataStage Manager had a server-level respository view. If I recall right, it was a project level view by default, but there was an option you could enable to take it to the server level. I used to use it all the time too. From there you could expand any project an...

In DataStage Administrator:

Have you tried increasing the inter process timeout setting in the project properties from default 10 seconds to max 600 seconds?

Have you tried increasing the project's Parallel, Operator-specific DSIPC_OPEN_TIMEOUT environment variable from the default of 30?

I would recommend your company consult with IBM or equivalent consultant who has done it before, in order to setup a fail-over environment properly. Obviously it is being done in a wrong way so far. It sounds like it has been attempted blindly without respect to IBM software / architecture requireme...

Most likely the reason is that any unsupported OS lacks required features so there would be expected issues with that combination. The solution is to install the server on a supported OS. If your other server is truly fully functional on XP, then I suppose you could attempt to clone the whole thing ...

It depends on whatever version you're using and its options.
