DSXchange

Perhaps some one missunderstood the question (is it me?!). We were talking about passive and active stages refering to the job design some stages are concidered as passive and some active. the question wat what is the difference between the 2 stage types not EE vrs. SE. I ment in server jobs ds324 ...

Hi,
The answer still stands even on windows (you just can't use the syntax you were givven).
contact your sysadmin for resolving permisions issue.

Be aware not every organization permits use of rsh! (as part of their security policy)

IHTH,

Hi, This is more of a C++ issue. when you define a string of 50 characters you'll get 50 characters even if you actually only use 10. (I think DS should usually puts a binary zero or the pad char for the reminder space, but I'm not sure.) now if you don't initialize the entire 50 characters you'll m...

Hi,
If you partition a 10GB data to 8 sets of 1.25GB and have 8 processes each processing 1.25GB in paralel, instead of 1 process going over 10GB you gain performance!.

IHTH,

, IMHO: Assuming this also means no more then 1 controller/disk (a basic PC with Linux???) if it does in a rare situation it would be most likely negligable. it all boils down to a running process/es sharing limited resources, in this case 1 CPU. You might gain something if the process has some wai...

Hi, On top of what was said... Active Stages are runtime processes, where passive stages are not. Now you ask what happens when you do a direct link from a DB stage to a Sequential file? - under the covers a slim transformer is inserted to be the runtime process. All part of the standard DS324 cours...

Hi and welcome aboard , Automatic handle activities that fail: 1. will trigger the exception handler stage. 2. will do the above in case no trigger except finished ok was set for a job activity otherwise it will assume you handled that activity's failiour. 3. Routines are concidered successfull if t...

Craig,
But,you can always SET.FILE pathed hash files to COUNT them

Hi,
But nothing is preventing you from storing the previous record/s in a common space to be referenced from that routine.
in case you need a flag for first null you can simply use a stage variable.

so what are your exact specs for this?

Hi, DS limits are set by OS (+login and environment)/kernel parameters, uvconfig (The DS configuration file) and resources available. you need to monitor the machine in similar situations to determine what causes the aborts, are you reaching any limit with number of processes, memory and so on - I r...

Hi, IMHO, your method is crashing the process and thus not a desirable solution. I prefer using stop from director; Or putting check-points in your flow that select a value from a control table, If it is set to continue the flow continues, otherwise it logs the event + send notifications and finishe...

Hi, Regarding: SourceFileName = 'E:\development\Source\':' " ':FileName:' " ' TargetFileName = "E:\development\Source\Source.xls" CommandString = 'Copy /Y ':SourceFileName:' ':TargetFileName Call DSExecute("DOS", CommandString, Output, SystemReturnCode) try: SourceFileName = DQuote('E:\developme...

Hi, what I can think of: 1. try closing/opening VC again, perhaps a reboot. 2. VC projects are still DS projects so you might have a messed up repository. - try REINDEX.ALL in the UV when connected to the VC project as with regular DS project (this was covered many times in this forum). 3. worst cas...

Hi, You can try checking the DSMakeJobReport Routine, In case it is not yet there in 7.0.2 go over the DSGetJobInfo, DSGetLinkInfo and such for the relevant options to get the info you need. Depending on the info you need you might also need to use the DSGetLogEntry/Summery and such to extract thing...

Hi,
Do you mean the SOA? (formerly known as RTI)
