Not to be confused with NAS.

I believe you'll find there's an IBM 'Best Practices' class they'd love to have you attend. I doubt there is a document they'll just send over, but who knows... can't hurt to ask.

Ok, that's reasonable. I would have expected you to ask about 'DataStage Server Best Practices' here and 'DataStage PX Best Practices' there, however. No big.

Or just build the daily version. It should work for the initial load, just find nothing to update. And will be probably be much much slower than it would be if designed as a separate job.

No need to post this more than once. 'This forum' is all encompassing and you really mean 'at this site'. And the answer is still basically no.

There isn't one. Except perhaps what some consultants have put together for their clients.

Create two if you need to handle the volumes differently, but your 'go forward' job design should be able to handle the 'one time' load as well.

Yes. Install them to two different locations (rather than 'upgrade' the first installation) and install the MCM or Multi Client Manager. It will allow you to switch from one to the other. Note the implication there - only one version can be active at any given time. ps. You really don't need to post...

When you order 7.5.2, which is free with a maintenance contract, it will come with a rather lengthy README. One such thing it will list are the changes made in the last several releases. Someone would need to post the entire thing, something which I don't plan on doing, to properly 'answer' your que...

You're probably at a point where official Support is required. I haven't seen this particular error, but anytime I've had any kind of 'dll' or similar error a client reinstall has solved it. Sometimes you do need to clean up manually after the uninstall is complete, both files and all related regist...

Of course, our friend means Len(in.Col) <=20 not 10.

Not 'mixed up' but yes a reference to Tony Stark's contribution to the previous posting Narasimha linked to. Hopefully Just4 got the reference.

Can I also use the filename that the job works on, since the filename is different for different instances of the job? Sure, that is actually fairly common. You'll need a mechanism to build a list of filenames and invoke the jobs with that filename in the Invocation ID field. That could be a variat...

No, he did not literally mean a value of 'x'! Use whatever values are meaningful to you and your jobs as long as they are unique across invocation. Your "1" and "2" were perfectly fine. They could be "March", "April" or "2006", "2007" - whatever you need. You can also reference the InvocationID thru...

So... does this need to be a Parallel job?
