Oh, I see... a hypothetical question. Your situation can be handled automatically in version 7.1 and onwards, as that is when the checkpointing of Sequencer jobs was introduced. Of course, the burden is on the developer to properly create the sequences to support that, but in general your answer is ...

More details, please. What 7.x version are you running? Are you using the new checkpoints or is this home-grown restarting you are doing? Hard to say much of anything with what you've provided. Probably the best way to find out is... restart it! Then you can let us know how it works in your particul...

Hop over to ADN where they've just posted the fact that 7.5 is GA. There is an accompanying 37 page "What's New" pdf document in the File Library there that will answer all of your questions.

One way would be to simply substring the first character off and check to see if it is a '2'. If YourField[1,1] = "2" Then DoSomething Else DoSomethingElse You could also do something similar in a Constraint: YourField[1,1] = "2" Depends on what you mean by 'bring out'. You may n...

Extra feature? No. You'll either need to hand code something, or use Yet-Another-Sequencer-Job to control your other sequences.

In the same boat with Roy - 7.0.1 and no problems with Named Batches. Report it as a bug and let us know what comes of it.

Never heard of it. However, copybooks are just text and so there really shouldn't be anything magical about storing them in an Oracle database. The question is exactly how are they being stored? There are several options I can think of off the top of my head. They might be storing each 'line' as a r...

You're welcome?

Depends on exactly what you mean by 'months'.

Here is one method a quick search of the forum turned up. There were others.

First thought - this is not the way to be 'promoting' jobs from environment to environment. That is what Version Control or the old Package/Release mechanisms were built to do. Now, if this is part of an upgrade test of a newer version, then never mind... That being said, is your QA environment setu...

Mine have always been painless as well, using either the upgrade-in-place or the new-install-and-import methodologies. However, these were Server upgrades, not PX, so I can't comment on the ease of those. As has already been 'pointed out' more information would help, including perhaps some examples ...

When you say 'triggering a server job', do you mean from the command line? Or do you mean from within the 'server environment'? From the command line, there is the dsjob command. You should be able to find quite a bit of information here on using it, plus it is fully documented in the Server Job Dev...

If you actually have Version 7.x in your hands, then you've got the release notes. They are the 'readme' files on the various cdroms you received. There is typically one for the Client portion and one for the Server portion, and there is a "What's New in This Release" section in each. You'll also fi...

Define 'latest file'. I'm sure you can make use of the FTP stage for something like this, but since it cannot handle multiple files (or even wildcards as far as I recall) you'll need to know which file you want before you get to the stage in your jobstream. You'd need to script something to go out t...

I'm sure it can, the question is the method. It might be as simple as a precursor job (or even a Routine) that reads the sequential file to find the first TransNo and then passes it into the main job as a Job Parameter. You could then use it as the 'Initial Value' of the stage variable. You could us...
