Someone needs to receive the "most impatient" award.

Does your engine run on the default port?

I would advise against it, even if it was supported, unless security is not a concern. Your new version would end up with non-default port numbers. I have experienced security issues when using non-default port numbers on 8.7. One of the issues was fixed in a future release while the other was not.

We have used DataStage and IA against Oracle with the advanced security, where we require network traffic from Oracle clients to be encrypted. In this scenario, the Oracle client can be configured to support encryption, whereas the bundled ODBC drivers do not support the encryption. Perhaps a newer ...

1. Double check that the column definitions / data types are identical, including the extended property. Sometimes "Unicode" gets set on all string columns in one place and not set on any in another. 2. Check if job properties and stage properties to see if RCP is enabled. If so, then you ...

Ouch, that hurts...

Have you tried routing the rejected records to a reject link? If they can be captured then you could easily view the key values.

Range Lookup can be a little tricky to get it to work as expected, but maybe it can be made to work... What I find strange is this is really simple to do using a server job. Does any one know some simple trick to do a lookup using >= without having to over generate records? Could you use a server jo...

It looks like you are running on an instance with non-default port numbers. If that is also true for your engine, then include its non-default port number in the -server option as well. Sometimes it helps to give the engine number in uppercase only. Example: -server ENGINE:port

What tier are you attempting to install?

Have you tried manually removing all files and registry entries from previous installation attempts and/or previous versions, and then restarting the computer, before running the installer?

The Information Server Manager User's Guide (for 11.3) has instructions for configuring Rational ClearCase as well as Rational Team Concert. We do not have either tool, so having developers follow a self created process document is key.

"View Data" at design time uses a different connection method than connections made at run time, so that would make sense. The DB2 Connector also has a setting (not sure its value, as I'm not on a grid): In the Alternate conductor settings field, specify whether you want to provide alterna...

Moderator, clean up the bot on aisle 7...

There is always a limit, and you can probably increase it by tuning the ISD settings. It would be nice to know if there were any tuning guidelines documented. The only documentation I have found so far is descriptions of each setting, from the online help.

If you are using a local Operating System user registry, then your OS admin probably has a way to copy over user accounts and passwords, without revealing the passwords to anyone. If you are using the internal user registry, then I don't know if it's possible; maybe Support could suggest a way. Have...

I would reiterate what Craig said, to only use the supported compiler that is listed on the IBM system requirements page according to your version of DataStage and OS. And where the web page says "minimum version" required, ignore that, and replace "minimum" with "exact.&quo...
