So, it sounds more like you are able to generate them but not successfully run them through a DataStage job? It's just (basically) a big number, yes? What have you tried so far? It would help to know what you are currently doing that gets you the "0" output. If you are having issues processing a lar...

I believe that you need the runtime library for Server in general. The compiler for PX, but I don't think you can do squat without the right runtimes.

Good point. Something that VC in 7.x has eased is the use of multiple Version Control repositories for people with multiple projects across 'subject areas'. I currently have 4 'VERSION_xx' projects servicing 12 projects.

False... and 450 isn't huge. One of my projects has almost 2200 jobs in it. Thank goodness for Categories. Now, in all honesty, not all of them get versioned. A more reasonable comparison would be another project: 342 jobs, 1316 'versions' in VC. The only issue you'll see, much like the Director, is...

You have to use the command line to do the 'import' if, as the OP had done, you've created a package using the Packaging Wizard. This was (back in the day) how one had to migrate all released jobs - package them, ftp them to the target server and then run the dspackinst command like utility. Even be...

If you specifically mean processing large XML files with the XML (or Folder) stages in DataStage, then there is an acknowledged problem with processing 'large' files. And from what I understand, large means more like a couple of hundred megabytes or so... 2 gigs would be huge and well beyond the cap...

Hmmm... "release 7.5 and earlier"... I wonder how much earlier?

Here are some posts I found: Bugs for Version 7.x Warning, goes a little off topic. DataStage Upgrade from 5.1 to 7.5 Possible PX problems? I thought I would find more, but perhaps my search Kung-Fu is not strong today. Anyway, don't hesistate to post back if you have more questions or concerns! Oh,...

I don't think you are going to find a 'comprehensive white paper' on the subject other than the Upgrade Guide that ships with the product. However, you also have this forum, so... The upgrade itself is rather straight-forward and is (generally) very painless. You have a couple of choices: Primary me...

I believe that the patch is only good for a 7.x release.

You need to read the documentation on the OCI plugins that are installed with your client software. There is a section devoted to 'Date Considerations' where issues like this are discussed. In essence: When you declare something to be of a 'Timestamp' data type in DataStage and then use that in the ...

Given the volume of posters looking for ways to release locks indicates the daemon is not too quick on the draw for finding these ophaned locks and releasing them. I think that may be due more to the fact that it defaults to being off nowadays and most (new) people don't seem to know about it. That...

I mean that Ascential hasn't certified it for XP, Home or Pro. You may be able to install it, not sure as they are getting stricter about allowing installs on unsupported platforms. In any case, it may or may not work... from what I understand, it doesn't - and if you had any problems Ascential woul...

XP is not certified as a Server platform.

Um... it's not needed? Am I not gaining anything by running it nowadays on a 7.x server?
