DSXchange

the path to programs is in /bin, not /lib

I had issues with the DataStage SLEEP function several years ago with V7, it would usually function but sometimes, for no immediately obvious reason, stop working. I recall having opened up a call with support at the time, but as a sporadic problem it was almost impossible to track down. We modified...

"Sort" is not a valid UNIX command. "sort" should work.

Edit the .dsx and change the name of a routine, then try to import. Do you get an error message or did that function correctly? It would seem that you have "read only" markings in your project.

Typically that error comes when the object code isn't linked correctly, and/or when the function definition doesn't match the code. Specifically: - declare it as an object - declare it with 3 arguments of char* - declare it with a char* return type - declare it with "external subroutine name&qu...

In that case, what happens when you install the 10g version?

It depends upon what you want to do with that count. Since the end-of-file marker comes after the last row you cannot use a transform stage to output a single row containing the number of input rows - you need to use an aggregator to do this. There are methods that you can use to get the row count -...

The server functionality of Version 7.x remains with PX Version 8.x and any jobs should continue to function in the same manner as before. You will have new functionality at V8 as well as a somewhat more complicated installation and administration using the Websphere components and you should try to...

Are you using MQ Series at all? If not, it won't make a difference which stage you install. Just use "client". If you have Oracle 9i in use then install the 9i Oracle plugin.

This means that the fixtool will be incapable of fixing all the errors in the file. I think that you are SOL in this case. The problem with the UV_SCHEMA file is that you can't play around with it they way you can with other hashed files, so the usual methods (i.e. copying contents, deleting, re-cre...

What happens when you just execute "./bin/uv" from the $DSHOME directory? (use "QUIT" to exit TCL if successful). What happens if you copy the "uv" executable and, with 777 permissions to the copy, execute it?

Lol - I should have done that as well. Thanks.

Can you create a project with a different name in a different location? If so, then chances are that something went wrong in an earlier attempt to create that project.

Replace the Oracle output with a sequential file stage. Does the error go away?

Can you identify which column is causing the error? (remove columns one-by-one until the error goes away). The "BCI.PUT" call is not done in the transform stage - are you sure that this error is being caused there?
