DSXchange

Hi,
Just wanted to state that if you use the option of the routine givven to run DS jobs verify no passwords will be written to the logs.

IHTH,

Hi,
You could also use the filter command to be a sequential file's input and use a head and tail combination to do the same.

Hi, The logic I ment was having an Exception Handler stage that will intercept the job abort and do the logic! Check the Automatically handle activities that fail Make sure your routine returns zero on success and try this flow EH ----->Collect log Errors RA ----->Collect log Success In case you nee...

Hi, In a sequence job you should be able to capture even failed activities, therefor you can upon activity failiour invoke you routine in a routine activity stage. bare in mind that this way you put a routine activity for bot hsuccess and failiour of the flow. In case your routine is not generic/dyn...

Hi,
What exactly do you mean by calling it?
Do you mean use it like a routine in the script?
Do you mean invoke it?

Hi (my welcome aboard was sent via private message ), For other people lets make it clear your talking about the DS_CONNECT command. Try having your DB2 poeple debug the connection and perhaps enable server side trace in the DS side. Your first objective is to figure out what is blocking the flow? I...

Invoking a routine is also a posibility but depending on where you invoke it and what you want to do with the result will effect the implementation.

( Arnd - happens to all of us )

Hi, you never backed this info to begin with. this info does not nesceserily resides inside your project directories. As for the files: 1. sequential files of value should have been backedup as well. 2. data sets and file sets might have required recreation in the new version regardless of backups. ...

Hi,
If your invoking an after job script in any shell you can only use the dsjob command line utility to get that info.

that utility has been covered to "death" one might say in this forum, search for it or in the docs.

IHTH,

Hi,
I Guess it does if you buy and install the java pack.
But not nesceserily the way you think (external source).
Or If you build your own stage it might.

IHTH,

Hi, This routine requires a Job Handle in order to write the message to that job's log. In short it depends what you want to do? 1. write to the job sequence's log? - Use DLogInfo or use DSJ.ME as the job handle. 2. write the info to anoter job's log? - wrap the mentioned routine in your own code to...

Hi,
The most common way to run DS jobs in intervals unavailable via the director client is using external schedualers such as the OS schedualing mechanism.
this involves usage of the dsjob command line interface.
A search in the forum (this and Server) should find you all you need to know.

IHTH,

Ok I have more to say regarding Craig's note. In some cases you have multiple files of the same scheme so my idea should work for that. In case you have also multiple schemes for the files you have 2 options: 1. export/import stages and further along split acording to type aproach. 2. good naming co...

Hi,
performing a type #PATH1#\*.* > #PATH2#\Myfile
will be far slower (the more data the slower it will be)
then simply read the files and process the read buffer!

That is my humble opinion and probably all I have to say for this post

Good Luck,

Hi,
if you specify in your sequential file stage your read method as file pattern and use wild cards in your file path (i.e: #path#/*) you will read all files in the specified path.

IHTH,
