DSXchange

Well, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that I have seen it before, but with an earlier version of DataStage (probably 5.x, but then again it could have been a completely different product like Cognos). The bad news is that I forget how I resolved it. I probably fixed it by d...

Hello, I un-installed my DS 6.0 on NT to re-install DS 5.2 and I got a strange error message during the new server installation: Setup has detected a previous un-installetion of Datastage has not completed You must re-start your machine to continue I re-started my system more then once but anything ...

Hi everyone, Is there anybody , who have experience in migration of datastage V4.0 to V6 ? We have to do that thing in our company, so Im interesting to have some information. what is the best way to do that, Problem on some job, problem of connectivity, other Problem ? Thanks in advance Best regards

So to summarize: An object compiled on UV DSEngine can run uv object code up to revision 9.6.1.1 only. For all uv object code with a higher revision level, DSEngine will emit the message: >Program XYZ was not compiled with a supported version of >the BASIC compiler. It must be recompiled. > >Univers...

The reason sqlplus or sqlldr cannot be found when executing unix commands from a DataStage job is EXACTLY because the environment of a job is NOT that of the user running the job. You need to put the Oracle bin path into your dsenv file PATH environment variable. Search the Oliver mailing list archi...

Running daily would be the first time it ran under cron and, as has been discussed before, the environments can be substantially different depending on who/how jobs and scripts are launched. Best advise is to Assume Nothing. Make sure your script sets up the environment it needs (paths, environment ...

Hello Everyone, I have a simple job which calls a shell script in the execSH before stage subroutine. This script has a SQLplus statement and it works fine when I run the job on demand as well as when I schedule the job to run once. However, when I schedule the same job to run daily, I have the foll...

DSEngine can run uv object code up to revision 9.6.1.1 only. DSEngine will emit the message: Program XYZ was not compiled with a supported version of the BASIC compiler. It must be recompiled. Universe, on the other hand, cannot run any DSEngine compiled object code. Glenn At 09:02 AM 01/14/2003, yo...

There can be some grief, however, in the database itself. For example, a file indexed by DataStage Engine (DS 5.x and later) cannot be accessed from UniVerse. I suspect the reverse is also true, but havent tested it. There can be problems too with some of the internal "magic numbers". So, even thoug...

Thanks for the response Dave. I hope we are probably safe there (unless IBM change how one of the existing BASIC statements compiles). Out of interest, would the possible new opcodes cause a problem even if we run format.conv on the object? (in which case, can format.conv guarantee that a UV10 objec...

UniVerse object code SHOULD run just fine under DataStage. As you know, when we split with IBM, the code streams also split. Underneath the covers, DataStage still uses the UV (Now called DSEngine) run machine, and is fully backward compatible. Now, it should be noted that this is true up until rele...

Hi Datastage Gurus, if any of you follow the U2 list, you may have noticed that I just announced our PDF Generation Suite for UniVerse. Can anyone tell me if the same code will run on Datastage and whether Datastage already has the ability to generate output in PDF format? thanks, Craig Bennett
