It looks more like
Output from subprocess: ld: fatal: library -lConvertWebChar: not found
is an issue. What is your platform and what are your settings for APT_COMPILEOPT, APT_COMPILER, APT_LINKER and APT_LINKOPT?

DSGetLinkInfo() will return a valid count only when called from the end-of-job.

If you have UniVerse installed then you can access UniVerse hashed files from DataStage PX through ODBC. The DataStage engine doesn't have this functionality enabled, but I suspect that UniVerse can still access DataStage hashed files.

I should add that what really brings DataStage into disarray is a "kill -9" command, doing a normal "kill", while not normally necessary, will probably not require a DS restart.

I can't recall where they are written either, but did search the whole file system from root using "find . -name ora.*bad -print 2>/dev/null" to find the relevant directory. Of course on a big system that find might take a while...

I can't check now, but could it be related to a sparse/non-sparse lookup setting?

Ray, perhaps we need to be more politically correct in UNIX and use sa new set of UNIX commands or synonyms for the much maligned "kill": "terminate_with_extreme_prejudice {pid}" "render {pid}" "neutralize {pid}" "whack {pid}" "retire {pid}" And we should get rid of zombies, they are to be called "a...

gfilidei - please give some details, there is little more frustrating than hearing "it didn't work" when trying to analyze a problem. There are infinite ways for things not working.

To go back to my suggestion. When you entered "LIST UV.ACCOUNT" did you, or did you not, see the missing project?

Welcome to DSXChange, Tej.

The language used for programming routines is DS/BASIC, the language description can be read in the DataStage BASIC Reference Guide.

tsn - look at UniVerse Documentation for some of the books that you will need to read. These are, for the most part, identical with what you will see in DS as the two systems have a common base and split apart several versions ago.

If you execute the query "LIST UV.ACCOUNT" from TCL or the command line tool in the administrator, is that project still listed? If yes you can do the following: a) create a dummy new project somewhere b) from UNXI, create the missing directory for the ABC project as it listed from the "UV.ACCOUNT" ...

Before and after job calls are part of the old DS engine and are, by default, DS-BASIC programs. There is a mechanism to bind external objects into the engine but the procedure is complex and not recommended. I am assuming "cpp" means "c++" You can make an executable from your c program, then call i...
