Hi Does anyone know what the future roadmap is for DataStage server edition? Several of my clients use bespoke infobasic in routines and job control code (including job control code that run PX jobs). With the (not so) recent event of IBM offloading the U2 products to Rocket Software, I am a little ...

Sorted out by running the client install again and selecting Information Server Manager.

Wish that the upgrade procedure was a bit better...

This has occured ever since the Oracle DBAs have started using PIT (Point-In-Time) technology to create snapshots of a database (for our development environment) When you stop the datastage job, the oracle connection remains act...

It obviously does make some registry changes (maybe pointing to different DLLs) that are only really activated after a reboot. Thanks for pointing me in the right directi...

Hi all I've performed 2 upgrades from DS4.x to DS7 on solaris and hp-ux platforms. Both installations still have DS v4 running on a backup/disaster recovery box, so we still use both v4 and v7 clients. My query relates to the "unsupported" Client Switcher tool that ships with the DS client...
