Try it without the double quotes and hashes - i.e.

Code: Select all

StringToDate(date_2nd_month)

This would be an IIS configuration setting. Using the web front end you can set up DataStage to authenticate and only use one userid for actual logins at the OS level. It would seem that it has been set up to be "dsadm" at your site.

Not automatically. You will need to make a backup of the project before deploying so that you can restore that state should your deployment fail.

Yes, if the record already exists then the "insert" generates the error you posted. If you do an update first, then an insert, you will not see this error.

There aren't any published books available at stores, the only books are the tutorials and documentation that ships with the product. For this reason it is generally recommended to take at least the introductory course(s). Are you looking for general literature about Data Warehousing and ETL or spec...

The "orchadmin" command is documented. the "dump" option does exactly that, it dumps the contents of the DataSet to standard output. This command doesn't modify the dataset at all, just does the DataStage equivalent of a "cat" of the contents.

Actual, there are switches you can set to make the build-op look like it is wave aware. I am not at my system now to check how I did it, but I do think that this switch is documented. As Ernie has already stated, unless you are doing wave processing with MQ-Series (as we are in this case), you can d...

Did you change the values in the Administrator tool or did you edit the files from UNIX? The first line in the log of a job run will show the ENV values - which parameters are declared there, the old names or the new ones?
