Dillipande, this subject doesn't belong in the FAQ forum. Although some people (who I won't name although their handle is chulett) think that Windows are a "toy", the question isn't really answerable without knowing the context of your environment. It's like asking "Is it better to have a Lotus or a...

Harithay,

I haven't had this problem, but I have seen posts from others who have. It seems that there is a patch for this from IBM/Ascential. If you do a search you'll find the other threads on this subject.

Could it be that you opened up the designer sequence object before the jobs were placed in the subfolder (I've done that before and ended up re-indexing the project and complaining before realizing that all I needed to do was a "refresh")

pandeypk, the list shows what the data types are, but don't necessarily show what the file format is. You will need to take a look at the file to see if the length is fixed and if there are any column separators. The same applies for the column contents - if the generating program on the /370 is a C...

c_wf, the entry for a DataStage project in the UV.ACCOUNT file requires one additional field to be entered, the "NAME" column needs to have a string with a certain syntax in it. The values depend upon your version and license - you can use a SQL select or a DS "LIST" command to to show the values fo...

The functions are the correct ones for that transformation. What did you try and what were your problems?

Sure, we've got lots of ideas, if you phrase the question that way

By default read-only objects are omitted.

What objects are you missing that you expect to be in the .dsx export file? You've got to give us at least a tidbit of additional information here...

The original keyboard players from back when "Moog" was the only game in town were all hardcore soldering-gun wielding chip and A/D inteface programmers!

Singhald,

why didn't you ask along these lines in the beginning? Fortunately, there are now 35 distinct threads on this subject that doing a search for "timeout waiting for mutex " will retrieve.

The DS_JOBS file/table has that information - it links a job name with it's corresponding job number.

I go into the manager, click on the category I no longer require and then hit the "delete" key. It might ask me if I really want to do this, but it works every time.

50 rows being written down a link to a table - easy; just put the constraint value into the transformer 50 rows total in table - tougher; you need to get the count of rows first to see how many you can put it. If several jobs concurrently write to that table it is more difficult - you could put a SE...

Singhald, you might not be using explicit IPC stages, but by specifying inter-process buffering you are effectively making all of your active stages into separate process that communicate with the other stages via named pipes - so you are ending up doing IPC. A pipe between processes can be visualiz...

You already posted the format you thought it was in, but I asked what the data for this column actually contains. If it contains any format except YYYY-MM-DD in your varchar (even extraneous spaces count against you) then you are going to get an error.

One of the options in a sequence lets you reset a job before running. This is exactly what you need. You can also trigger this through a dsjob -run -reset call from the command line if you prefer that approach.
