DSXchange

Or something a little less obtuse: DIGITS(YourField) Does the exact same Oconv under the covers but at least you have an idea what is going on. Check out the other Transforms that come with the product, there's some handy stuff in there. Next time you need to do something like this and aren'...

This looks suspiciously like the error in your first post. Is this something new that is generating an identical error or are you just... reiterating? That is because you do not have 'write' priviledges on the directory where you have installed the DataStage client on your PC. Did you check this?

Hey Craig, command line arguments still work in Ds7.5.1 without the prompt. I do not want to answer those questions on their web site. Huh? [wakes up and starts paying more attention when he sees his name] I'm not sure of the correlation here - does this go back to trying to launch Version Control ...

but the question here when I run the job from shell scripts its aborting after 50 limit; my shell scripts does not have any limit; but how do set it to unlimited If you don't specificy a warning limit when you run the job, it should take the project level default which (as noted) is set via the Dir...

Change the warning limit when yu run yur job through director make it according to yur req. i mean increase yur warning limit so the job get successfully loaded. Or - better yet! - correct your job so that it doesn't generate any warnings. That's the only way to really get your data successfully lo...

In that case, yes - you'll be fine. For whatever reason, you gave me the impression the writing and reading were happening simultaneously in the job, that is the situation in which you can't enable write caching.

Define "repeatedly"? I'm guessing the delete is failing because it's actually still in use when the attempt is made. Are you sure it doesn't say "Unable to create " instead? ps. You really should have started a new post on this specific topic, rather than piggy-backing on the end of an existing (but...

No, you can't... and it makes sense why if you stop and think about it for a minute. The hash file writes are cached in memory and (technically) the hash itself isn't really created and populated until the stage 'closes' and all of the information is flushed to disk.

Well... then the installer is broken again.

Is there any setting which makes those "links" go in a user controlled direction?????? Ah... no, unfortunately not. All you can do is what Chuck suggested, trying to line things up better. Sometimes the 'Snap to Grid' option helps, too. But bottom line is you have no direct control over either the ...

Not really sure what you are saying here, but you have total control over the "direction of the arrow marks". It's all about which way you drag the link. If it's wrong, you may just need to delete it and then drag it in the "correct" direction. Or in some places, with the new option of allowing "han...

You might want to explain what "if I order the comparisons in a slightly different way" means exactly. An example would be good.

There's no icon because it's a little DOS command line program. From what I recall, you need to read the readme to see how to setup two shortcuts to it, using the appropriate options to switch to one version or the other. Yes, all you need to do is install the Version 6 client to a different directo...

Specific examples of how to do what you ask in your first question have been posted several times in this forum. I'm sure a search will turn them up. As for more specifics other than 'locking' on the difference between the two, bring them up in the Manager by double-clicking on them. Read the Long D...

In the past, you were able to install the client on unsupported platforms and (possibly) get away with it running ok. For example, XP Home. which the 6.x client worked just fine on. With the advent of the 7.x series, not only is XP Pro the only flavor of XP supported, but the installer checks your o...
