Have you considered exporting the project and using an editor or other software to edit the export file?

Having limited space on the server is bad in lots of ways for DataStage. See what you can do to make more space. Things like log files and the files in the &PH& directory grow (that is why you must prurge them from time to time). The on-disk copy of in-memory hashed files also takes up space. As the...

The answer is NO. The only field names you can retrieve are those that the designers deigned to put in the file dictionary. In the case of the DataStage repository the decision to omit most field definitions was deliberate. Once upon a time (DS 4.0) I did work my way through the respository tables, ...

Hi Jain, Assuming the source directory, file and fifo exist and are readable/writeable, then the following code snippet will work on Unix for three known file extensions (you can extend to include, for example uuencoded files (extension .uue???)). Note that you must redirect to the fifo, not pipe to...

This is actually physically impossible due to the fact that WinZip on Windows wont let you target a pipe /sysin with its output. You have to touch it down to disk. (I know this because Ernie and I were testing out the new filter stage in 6.0 and we were hoping to do just this with it. (Ernie discove...

Dinesh, No, there is not any plug-in to read a zip directly from DataStage. You need to unzip the file first. You could try to read across a network with an NFS mount.

You may be able to use the Target Stages Before SQL. You could then use the Target Stages After SQL to reactivate the index(s). The Before & After SQL is only acted upon once, prior to the first record being and after the last record handled in the Target Stage, respectively. Thanks, Lester F. Calli...
