Well, at least there one answer for you. Job parameters may not work but it sounds like Environment Variables do. Or at least can. You might have to be careful, though - from what I remember, one of the early 7.x versions required you to recompile any job that used enviroment variables in order to p...

And for H-PUX, make sure you point to the 32-bit libraries first.

i.e. "$ORACLE_HOME/lib32"

Didn't Ascential make an attempt at some kind of "Intelligent Assistant" or "Wizard" for jump-starting a job design Yes, they did. However, I think there was an issue with the "Intelligent" part and some functionality that was documented was revoked or some such. Had an interesting conversation wit...

Re: Not able to pass a parameter to mail stage in sequencers

Doesn't mail stage support parameter passing??? Nope. As much as you might think it should, it does not. The 'work around' is to write your own email script that takes parameters in and passes them through to sendmail. Then you can call it using DSExecute in a Routine Activity stage. Out of curious...

I would be very suspicious of anyone who installs any software at all on the /dev file system; this ought properly to be reserved for UNIX devices. Hey, it's H-PUX. That's a mount-point on a volume group and they always seem to track back to a /dev/something-or-other. Mine is "/dev/vg01/opt_datasta...

Some aspects of tables like that are specifically hidden from prying eyes, or so others have said in this forum. But... you can use "LIST DICT" to list the dictionary for any given object.

Or use 'sort' as a filter and leverage the '-u' option to sort out only unique records based on your sort keys. :wink:

You can also use the string math functions already supplied, like those mentioned in this post.

Or, for example, you can use Compare() to test them rather than the <> operator.

Actually, it may very well be the protected project which VC has known problems with. What exact version of the 7.x software are you running?

A quick test would be to unprotect the project just before promotion and then reprotect it afterwards. See if things upload normally then.

Make sure to look for the "previous run" message, not anything about the actual resetting. If it's there, double-click on it to read the detail. There will also be a 'Copy' button that will automatically copy it to the clipboard for you.

When the job aborts, try Resetting the job from the Director. It's the button with the two left-facing arrows like rewind on a VCR. When it does the reset, it may put new information about the problem into the log labelled as "From previous run...". Please post the contents of that log message if it...

They're not. At least not here, not 'officially'.

You'd either need to post this on ADN or better yet call Support and log something official.
