DSXchange

Have you tried declaring it as a decimal field, then giving it a "unpacked, separate" and "trailing sign" in the attributes?

Adam, how this question is answered depends upon whether is a server job (as per your "Job Type") or a PX one (as per your select forum). Which is it?

Craig - it would be tough with a default PX configuration in Japan, since "4" is considered to be the unlucky number. I walk under ladders, after black cats cross my trail and have flown on a Friday the 13th. Which probably explains why I've go so many issues

Sure, there is nothing against an odd number of nodes.

When doing performance testing I start with 1 and work my way up to see which gets the best throughput. Heck, I even use 13 nodes...

Your project will be in the directory DSGuru2B mentioned if you used the default installation paths; but note that project directories can (and are) put anywhere on the machine. If you login using the Administrator it will show you the path to a project and you can use that to find the project's DSP...

The name of column in the metadata becomes irrelevant in this case, you can use whatever name you wish.

poonamgoyal, you have just posted to a thread last updated in May 2005.

Are you having the same problem?

You can pass the column name into the job as a parameter and use the parameter as a placeholder in custom SQL to read/write/update your database.

The "UnixOutput" will also contain @FM characters. If it is empty, try echo-ing a value that you know is set, such as $DSHOME.

Ah, now I understand the question. You want to pass the column name dynamically, not the column's value. You cannot do it by putting a parameter in place of a column name.

Are you writing a PX or a Server job (you posted in Server but specified a PX job)?

Peter, it sounds like it would be easy to do this in one job, unless there are difficulties that you haven't mentioned.

Is this a server/parallel job or a TX job? If the former, you can use DSGetStageInfo() using the DSJ.STAGECPU key to get CPU time used in a stage. There is still a bug in this value, it doesn't actually return the CPU time used, but the CPU percentage; so you have to use the stage runtime computed b...

Pravin - this is almost a new subject, so normally it would be best to start a new thread. You need to pass the instance name to the jobs you are calling from the sequence - this can be done via parameters.

And for those who think that this document is desirable because of it's restricted status, please remember that even the U.S. government has kept documents such as "a 1962 telegram from George F. Kennan, then ambassador to Yugoslavia, containing an English translation of a Belgrade newspaper article...

UNC is Universal Naming Convention and it would be \\server/dir/dir for you on windows.
