Are we in the Server world (as defined by the posted forum) or Parallel world (as declared in the post header)?

Ahh, that explains it, when I tested it I must have clicked on a once-only button. Now that I tried it again with "weekly" I get the expected cron error message (since the user really doesn't have the required access)

Perhaps I am just having a bad day and a mental "whiteout", but a colleague has just brought up an issue that I cannot quite understand or explain. We are running Version 8 on AIX. If I try to schedule a job from the director I get an error message stating that I have insufficient privileges to perf...

Would using the IsValid() function be an option for you?

This is a volunteer site. "Urgent", "Immediate", "Emergency" and other such terms usually guarantee that the question will be answered much later than would otherwise be the case. Perhaps while you wait for a qualified response you could look at the documentation that is delivered with the SAP Pack,...

What error message do you get on the second instance? If you go to UNIX, does "ps -ef | grep aaa" return any segments? What about "ps -ef | grep dsrpcd"?

Ray - I didn't specify "commited" intentionally, because a lookup can also be against non-database sources; so to be complete one would need to say committed or written (and SYNCd) or otherwise made visible.

Hello byjones,

How many nodes in your configuration file and what is the exact error message that you get?

The "normal" lookup takes the complete contents of the link and loads it to a virtual dataset in memory. Each row being looked up is already in memory, so is quite fast. "Sparse" lookups actually do a lookup/select for each row separately. Each is used in a different scenario. If your data has 100 r...

Always add a dummy record where the date is >60 months old so that the DELETE always has at least one row to process.

the full outout above is too much for me. Are you doing a load or normal table writes? Can you actually do an insert or update manually to this table?

Does it hang if you use a 1-node configuration file?

Hashed files only have one key, when you define multiple keys the actaul key used is a concatenation of the fields, separated by a special character. You have not stated whether your problem is read speed or write speed. If the write speed has slowed down, then it is due to the number of bytes in th...

What is assembler data? Were these files flattened on the host or did you somehow receive binary images of the VSAM/QSAM structures? Do you have the COBOL copybooks for the data and have you looked at the files with a binary tool and tried to compare what you see with what the COBOL definitions are?

Or use search to look for example DSGetLinkInfo in DSXchange.
