Read the writeup on the "Command Line Interface" in the Server Job Developers Guide. Run, Reset and Validate seem to be the primary things you can do from a Unix command line, I dont believe you can compile from there. That doesnt mean you couldnt run a batch job from the command line that went in a...

Tracy You can delete the duplicates with SQL. If you have Access then it has a find duplicates wizard. Use it to find them then view the SQL it created. The easiest way to to group by all the fields and write it into the new table. Another solution. With the SDK that comes with DataStage it has a co...

Compressing excess data from a dimension table

Greetings, My DataStage challenge du jour is essentially to correct a data model goof in a warehouses slowly changing dimension (SCD) table. The goof consisted of tracking certain data elements there that cause the table to lengthen far too rapidly, while adding very little analytical value. I am mo...

The data in a hash is stored in a dynamic array, not individual columns. A dynamic array is actually a single string with individual values delimited by specific byte values. If one of your special characters happens to be one of these byte values, it will be misinterpreted as a field separator, giv...

Running Multiple Instances Using dsjob

I tested this about a month ago. To run multiple instances of a job, you append the instance id, which you have done. I have not tested it with batches, but there is no reason why this should not work (a batch is a job control routine with a funny name for its job). The error code DSJE.BADSTATE (-2)...

Listener and process metabroker must be started, then capture of process metadata into the MetaStage hub is automatic. There is a script for starting each of these processes; it is called StartService.bat (you find the one in the Listener folder and one in the Process MetaBroker folder). ----- Origi...

Metadata from Word Document (was Starting a new project )

It really does depend on the format in which your metadata occurs in the Word document. You have to get it out of there. Chances are that its not in a format that either DataStage or MetaStage can deal with, however, though you do have a better chance with MetaStage. Without knowing the exact format...

Try re-compiling your routine. How did you determine that the value of Field1 is 50? (There is no way to provide NULL via the Test grid for Routines.) If re-compiling fails, can you please supply the remainder of the Routine code; I created a Routine with these arguments and it works fine. A tip: in...
