From what I understand, you should use the Folder stage in conjunction with (to feed) the XML Input stage. Works well as long as the XML files are not "too big".

Yes, the OCI8 stage must use an 8 client to connect. You can connect to a 9i database with it, but it must be using an 8i client.

If your client and database are both 9i then suggest you use the OCI9 stage instead. Hmmm... was that available in 5.x?

I just went in and hit 'create job from template' and the list is empty... It will be until you create some. All it is right now is a better way to handle you creating something that you call a 'template' job and people remembering to use (and not overwrite) it. Think of it like how Office handles ...

Yes, it can be done. A colleage of mine did exactly that, but having worked for Ascential for some time gave him a leg up on someone like you or me trying to work this out on our own. It is not all that simple and not something that someone can just "tell you", but it can be done. But as Kim said, b...

Bummer... sorry.

I started with 3.1 but some of these subtle "do it this way in x.x but this other way in y.y and don't forget it was broken for awhile in x.yr3" have long since fled my mind. I need to get me a copy of your magic notebook, this is all too much for a mere Muggle.

It is available, Tony - in 7.5 . In addition to the DRS (Dynamic Relational Stage) which is a whole 'nuther animal, there is a new SP or Stored Procedure stage. It allows usage of stored procedures as Source, Target or Lookup stages. Haven't taken it for a spin yet, but it is definitely there. Oracl...

There's no need to do this outside of DataStage. Do this from the Director: * Highlight the job * Add to Schedule * Select 'Every' * De-select the current day of the week * Select the '1' on the Calendar * Set the time 09:00 AM It will create a cron entry to run your job on the first of every month...

The old EDA software from Information Builders has been renamed to something like 'iWay' from what I recall. I believe that you can get an iWay adapter for Focus that DataStage could leverage. Check here for starters.

He doesnt' mean superuser as in root... he means the 'admin' user as in 'dsadm' or whatever name you've assigned to that role.

On the issue of "Display Size", I think you'll find this has always been the case - it's just that it is being more tightly enforced. There was something in the readme about this, I believe. It was annoying to see the 'View Data' issue you noted when we upgraded to 7.0.1 where all columns are minimi...

Check page 341 of the Universe User Reference. FWIW, for RUNNING it simply says "Lists all UniVerse processes that are not yet suspended."

Am I supposed to install the MCM before installing a second version of the clients? Or, do I install the new client version and then the MCM? Doesn't matter. Just don't try to use MCM without two client flavors installed. And as Roy mentioned, make sure you install the two clients to separate direc...

One more simple question for you guys but not for me, how do we compare 2 strings without casesensitive. I mean A##rr and A##RR should show as equal. My requirement do not allow me change one of the columns case that is I cannot use Upcase or DownCase to change the case and compare. Sure you can! S...

I've used the older Client Switcher but not the new Multi Client Manager yet. I'd say go with the latter as it is supported whereas the older one is not. Besides, I doubt the older one supprts 7.5, but the new one will support 7.0.

What does it show when you click on More?

ps. Both Stage Variables and Constraints won't show red when in error.
