In previous versions there was a dedicated "Command Line Interface" chapter in both of the Developer's Guide pdf manuals but that no longer seems to be the case. However, I did find a reference to it in the 8.1 Server Job Developer Guide pdf: For full syntax information, see WebSphere Data...

No. "Encrypt" is a pretty generic word and the closest you'll come is the Encode stage with the following caveat: The Encode stage is a processing stage. It encodes a data set using a UNIX encoding command, such as gzip, that you supply. The stage converts a data set from a sequence of rec...

As noted, your question has been answered many different ways. Basically: no there is no "undelete" but with a backup you can restore. Do you have an export of the project? A filesystem backup? Anything?

Again, there's no such thing as "converted into integer, with the preceeding zeroes retained".

Ah... perhaps that's the distinction being made. Multiple readers on a single node are allowed for variable length records but multiple nodes requires a fixed-width file.

ArndW: I've heard that in versions 7.5.3 and up it is indeed possible to read variable field length files with multiple nodes if your schema is correct. I haven't tried it myself and I am gladly corrected if you know the truth.... Ray corrected me recently and said that our 'fixed-width only' state...
