DSXchange

Post your complete syntax.

You may be able to 'trick' it by editing the .dsx file and changing the version information in the file, but that really wouldn't be supported if it all went sideways. Anyone tried that? I don't have 8.x to play with, so can't. I don't even know if the .dsx format has undergone any 'improvements' sp...

I'd wager that's because you are not specifying a full path in your 'blabber', but are using a relative one instead.

To a higher release, yes - but not to a lower release.

Ah... that would be true, waiting is waiting is a singleton process.

Wasn't aware a Sequence job generated OSH, however.

The Director will only show a job as Scheduled if the currently logged in user is also the one that scheduled it. This because cron is user specific and each user can have their own crontab.

Your SA would need to manage the 'allow' files for you.

Excellent!

More better is always gooder than less better. :D

Yes - they are already handled by the IConv function when handling dates, as is the year - just not with the restricted range you posted. Add another bit of logic to say that the date is invalid if the year portion of the date is outside that range as well as what you are already doing.

Not that I am aware of, feel free to write one. The only part you are missing is the year range restriction and that shouldn't be hard to add to your checks.

Describe the design of the Sequence job.

On a more serious note, how about you start by explaining what in the heck you mean by a 'Dynamic Server job'?

Just check the 'Dynamic' checkbox on the job's properties. And you'll probably need liberal use of the RMM stage.

Problem #2 is caused by problem #1. And for #1, the 'physical path name' must be the full path to the hashed file, including the hashed file name.

Post your syntax if you still can't get it to work.

Welcome aboard. :D

As noted, yes that is perfectly feasible. You can connect to any Oracle instance you have 'visibility' to from the DataStage server via your tnsnames setup.

And yet my reply is rated 'Off Topic / Superfluous'... interesting. Oh well.

Glad that "worked worked worked" for you. :D
