DSXchange

Does it allow you to login through dsadm id?

Is the layout includes the redifines? How you imported the COBOL layout? Did you specified 'As Is' option while importing the layout. If it was imported correctly, then you can try to comment the feilds under the redefine and just allow the prime column to be meta data and check. Also try to write i...

If you need to handle within job, as sugested use teh property available in transforer 'Abort After'. If you need to monitor out of the job, use GetLinkInfo to that particular link for thershold value.

Perhaps ray is saying about head -1 and tail -1.

Most probably girija would be right. Duplicates would cause more number of row in the output than expected.

There isnt any inbuilt funciton available for extracting TimeZone. You need to do workaroud to capture that. Else you can use D code, Iconv,Oconv from UserVariableActivity and pass on the value as a parameter. (If required as a single value as a whole for that job)

Search the forum or the online help for USERSTATUS. This can be set with a single value inside a Server job and then easily picked up in a Sequencer and passed in as a parameter to a downstream job. Hi Craig, I have never tried with UserStatus. May I know how to use it? What kind of expression we c...

What you mean by 'kill'. Do you want to delete or want to stop the process or need to release the lock? If you are speaking about releasing the lock based on the job id, select the job name from the job id by executing SELECT NAME FROM DS_JOBS WHERE jobid = 'nnn' from TCL and after retreving the job...

Since the routines are executed within the project, I am not sure if it can be attched to another project.

I was under the impression that, if all the clients as disconected and if no running jobs, UNLOCK ALL can be executed
Infact while following some set of instruction given by IBM support people, I was asked to do the same.

Yes, use LIST.READU EVERY from TCL to get all list of locks.
If you find the job you mentioned in the list, perhap you can release it.
If you dont run any job at the moment, any any client being opened at the moment, you can simply use UNLOCK ALL to release all the locks.

What if, if you give the outpu length as blank. Which is capable to handle any value.

How you call the job, is it through the sequnce or from command prompt. If the job is been called from command prompt by dsjob command, you can make use of 'dsjob -run -warn # {job name}' property. You can provide the warning limit at the -warn parameter.

There is no specific forum for MVS.
You can post your needs, and you can find lot of expert available.

I need to check the way to use it in after job subroutine. But you can use the UserVariableActivity to pass these variable to a ExecuteCommandActivity. Which inturns will append the the file with these information. By giving 'echo' in the command and Parameters (DSJobStartDate and DSJobStarTime) pas...
