I would seem that a colleague has already posted the same problem in this thread.

That is really strange, particularly at Version 7, where there is no Websphere component. Can you "cd $DSHOME", then "./bin/dssh" to see if it will enter TCL? (if you can, just enter "QUIT" to get back out).

The wording of the error makes it seem as if there is a user-written plugin function called "Put" that hasn't been migrated (or migrated correctly) to 8.1

As Ray has already stated (twice) in this thread, the IPC subsystem is not involved. Is your project directory full? Is the log file somewhat over 2Gb large? If neither, then perhaps the file is corrupted.

It is possible (and supported) to have multiple V7 installations on the same server. I am not sure if multiple V8 installations are possible and/or supported, but you can do a standard install of V8 and then install V7 on a different port with no issue. The data sources used at runtime aren't a fact...

Ahhh, I see - I mistook this for a PX and not a server question; that is my fault and I'm sorry , I now understand why my post didn't make sense to you. I would recommend you force the conversion from a string representation to a real number in a stage before the aggregrator, perhaps putting in a tr...

This is, in my opinion, rather basic PX functionality that most developers should be able to do. The Aggregator stage will let you open up the window, but then tell you "No schema properties can be specified at this point." - which means you need to specify them in a stage before the aggre...

There is a category called "decimal separator" which lets you specify which character you wish to use.

Did you try explicitly setting the delimiter in the column definition?

The actual character set is not important - it is the NLS Locale which affects such things as date & time format, decimal separators, currency and collating order.

Can you start jobs from the command line? Can you reset jobs from the director and does a (force) compile work? Do server jobs run?
