I dont believe so, at least not directly. Now perhaps someone like Ray or Ken can give you some way to accomplish that down in the underlying engine, but typically your jobs only know about other jobs within their same project. You could certain *launch* jobs from other projects at the O/S level usi...

Hi We are in the process of "productionizing" our environment formally. For emergency fixes, we have thought about maintaining a different project where in few key developers can put in the emergency fix jobs. The Production Master Control job needs to look at the emergency fix project to see if a e...

I believe the exception is there for any commands that fail to execute. Typical examples are a job that is not compiled, a routine which is missing or passed the wrong number of parameters, an execute of a script or application that does not exist. If the job/routine/application is successfully star...

While its similar, Ray, and ultimately has a lot of the same stuff at its core, the API for the Java Plug-ins is a wholly separate offering. There are built-in classes and methods for row and column navigation, a pair of Stage GUIs with pre-constructed properties for interaction with the DS Designer...

Does this mean that the DataStage Plug-In Writers Guide will become a very large book indeed, or will there be two separate volumes (one for C, one for Java)? Would it be possible to adapt the (say) 5.2 API to allow Java stages, or is there something new in the Engine that is required to make it all...

Scott, The java stage is an optional stage for the new release of datastage, so you wont have it as yet. It allows a java class to become a source (to fetch data and return it to the datastage stream), a transform (to allow a row of data to be passed to a java class) or a target (a rowset from datas...

Thanks Ernie. I looked on our test box (DataStage 6.0r3), but did not see any Java stages although I had selected all stages to be installed. Are these a part of XE (which we do not have), in a new release, or am I missing something obvious? Thanks again, Scott >>> ernie.ostic@ascentialsoftware.com ...

Hi , I have a datastage job that is giving following when I try to open in designer. " Item has no design time information " But Im able to run the job. Any ideas on this , why its unable to open in designer ? Thanks in advance Surendra This e-mail, including attachments, may include confidential an...

To my knowledge, Scott, no one has written a specific LDAP Stage...however, the new Java Plug-ins should make it fairly easy to do so. You could certainly write an LDAP Plugin with the current C and C++ PlugIn API thats been in DataStage since its inception, but the task is probably far simpler with...

Hi All,

Does anyone know if DataStage can talk to LDAP somehow? I looked but
did not see an LDAP stage.

Thanks,

Scott

Each has their own, unless you are using the hash cache daemon. Check your documentation under client software start button menu and read up on it. It describes commands to give this daemon if you want to put hashes into a job sharable state. (DS5.1+) Good luck! -Ken --- Thomas Nel wrote: > Hi Ppl, ...

Hi Ppl, I need someone to clarify something for me on enabling hash file caching. I know that if one where to select the read caching option for a hash file, it loads the hash file into memory when the job starts and that this allows the sharing of resources in that multiple instances of the same jo...

Absolutely not. You cannot have multiple instances of the rpc daemon. The clients ask you for server name period. You cannot have multiple versions installed without some fancy work, were you wishing to have multiple versions on the same server. For your question though, not in any current release. ...

Up until current release (6.x) the answer is no. This has to do with unique naming of shared memory segments and the file /.dshome that locates the DataStage Engine directory. The ability to have multiple instances of DataStage within the same instance of an operating system is, however, on the wish...
