DSXchange

Actually, the most common and likely cause I've seen is the DSEngine is running along just fine but the 'connection deamon' dsrpcd is not. As noted, grep for the process on your DataStage server. If it's not there, search the forum for messages with dsrpcd or uvrpcd (the old name but the advice stil...

Check the from hash file as soon as you read it by using a peek stage. Now you're mixing your products. Server has Hash files but no Peek stage. EE/PX is vice-versa - no Hash but does have the Peek stage. In Server, if you are not sure for some reason what's in a hash file (and you don't feel comfo...

Then you've got a couple of options at the very least... 1) Write a job control 'wrapper' in BASIC that computes the current month from the system date and then runs the job in question. Because it's running it, it is also in charge of setting the parameter values, including the one that uses the va...

From what I recall, there can't be anyone else connected to the project when you do this. So... no running jobs, no developers on, etc.

It's a popular topic in the forum, searching should turn up the syntax if you are unsure of the where or how of it.

Rebuild the Repository indexes for that project.

You might want to explain what a "generic routine" is and the code behind it. Why not use Job Activity stages?

So... no job picture?

I think there is an issue with Routine Activity stages that may cause serial execution when you expect it to run the jobs in parallel. Not anywhere where I check or confirm/deny this. However, it would help to get a picture of the OP's sequencer job, including the RA stages so we can see how everyth...

That's fine. Just wanted people to understand that while WinZip does have a command line option, it is only available if you actually own a registered copy. If you are still "evaluating" it after all these years, then you are out of luck.

Depends on what you mean by "files". For sequential files, the answer in Server is no. And yes, that does imply that in EE/PX jobs the answer is yes. For "queries" via a DBMS type stage, the answer is you need to handle that yourself in the query - you need to do the limiting in the database. Otherw...

You can't.

Thomas, you might want to explain what "work the way I want" means. And some samples of what you've tried so far so we don't go over old ground. Or you get too many 'search the forum' replies. I'm assuming you are talking about capturing these DBMS rejects after the job completes from the job's log....

Listen to? Sure, you betcha. Give myself completely over to the dark side? Nah. I think Ray was just getting deep in the weeds on that one, pointing out the facts as to how expressions are resolved and not advocating non-use unless required. I agree with you - and I'm sure Ray does too - use the par...

The first schtick was just in reference to this statement of yours: Is almost always true because the () are in the wrong place. The () should always protect the or like: Emphasis added by yours truly. The rest is in reference to this (somewhat) recent post where Ray explained that DataStage BASIC t...

Which part did I lose you on, Kim?
