Marking several jobs disables the RUN button. This is because each job can have different parameters (both names, number and values) and different settings. This has never functioned and probably never will be implemented. I think you've gotten quite a few suggestions on the different ways to implem...

Craig - he marked both jobs in the director and wished to start them together and when you do that the "run" button greys out.

Kim - I shouldn't have said "not too difficult" Piotrek - The engine is stack based (think of inverse-Polish notation or the programming of old HP calculators); there aren't too many compiled OPCodes but there are special ones that have variable number of parameters (i.e. elements to pop off the sta...

The problem is now solved. It seems that the user(s) who couldn't run jobs in the "bad" path didn't have the group "system" in their group list. Once that was added the user(s) could run jobs. There still isn't a difference visible that would account for why they could run jobs on projects in other ...

Amar - there is nothing stopping you running these at the same time. You wanted to know how to start them at the same time and the answer that you got was "use a sequence". You can start the jobs at the same time from the command line using dsjob or from the director (you can't click on both and run...

In order to do anything with dates you will need to convert them from display to internal format; the most common way is to use the ICONV() function with the appropriate Date conversion [see the manual under "conversions" for details]. When you do have that integer date you can perform simple math a...

Yes, you can decompile DS/Basic and UV/Basic code.
There is a product available out there which you can purchase. This will decompile programs and routines. Years ago I wrote a decompiler and it wasn't too difficult {I don't have the specs anymore, so can't help you}.

Create a sequence with 2 job activity stages; put the correct instance name (any names will do as long as they are different) and the correct parameter file name, compile and run.

...Is there any possibility to call the conroller job in a sub job... You cannot recursively call jobs, you can call a multi-instance "parent" job from a sub-job with a different invocation ID. But I am not sure if I have understood your question. It seems that you are just adding one more step to ...

Amar - instances are designed so that they can run at the same time. Can you tell us what problems you are having when you try to run them at the same time?

Using ODBC to MySQL is the best method. What problems are you facing?

Thanks Kim. We did check to make sure that no ACLs were set, the umask is set to 002 as well, and the groups are aligned, we even did chmod 777/chown/chgrp to all files/directories yesterday as well. Access rights are identical between the project in a "good" mount point and the "bad" one. I'll forc...

Before someone is going to write some custom code for you, could you please post your hashed file layout, particularly which column you are interested in. You can write a custom routine which is passed the hashed file name, key value and column number which contains the value you wish returned. This...

Make your DataStage load job into a multinstance job, start two concurrent instances of this job, each using a different source file passed in as a parameter and you have your solution.

There are no error codes. Even with tracing enabled there are no error codes, the &PH& entry contains the 1-liner "Project not found", but as that use I can look at UV.ACCOUNT and have put in a test program to call up DSR_PROJECT as well and that returns a valid value. If the job has a statu...
