XML export/import DataStage Components

Hello, I did some searching but didn't find anything related to this particular topic. I'm having troubles with using the Import>DataStage Components (XML) functionality in Manager . This has nothing to do with XML stages. The dsx export/import works fine for all jobs, and I can export jobs as XML j...

Hi all, I was looking for the XML PACK developer documentation, and I noticed that the document I found (the same file name you mentioned) specifies the guide is intended for server jobs. Is there a separate guide for PX jobs? Is there any difference between the XML stages in Server versus Parallel?...

In our cluster, the DataStage binaries are NFS mounted across the nodes and databases are all remote from the DataStage servers. Also, the databases are not usually used across projects, but there's nothing saying they could not be used. So are you are saying that since the job is running on server0...

I have a related question. We are running DSEE 7.5.1A (with SAP R/3 and BW PACKs) on an MPP environment with two physical servers. We are trying to isolate different projects to use either one of the servers using different config files. Example: project A would run on server0, and project B would r...

Doy you have the $DS_ENABLE_RESERVED_CHAR_CONVERT variable set to True in your job? I did not have it set initially, but I just tested the job with the variable set in project and in job, and it returned the same error. I received the following from IBM support. I'm waiting to hear back from them. ...

For example, my current project has 1,439 jobs and it just took 40 seconds to open a job there with 32 stages. And this is remote over VPN and cable. :wink: :shock: wow, that example was something I was looking for. Our projects are small beans compared to that. thanks for your input!! In my experi...

I cannot confirm that local connections to the DS server is acceptible. Even local connections are aweful for this particular project. For example, it just took me 1.5 minutes to open a job with 7 stages in it. This particular project has 229 px and server jobs. By the way, I thought for a second it...

When your client is particularly sluggish, look at system utilization using something like top, prstat, or glance on the repository node. Maybe jobs aren't running, but you can't discount that the machine may be bottlenecked. I have done this (top), when users complain and it looks as idle as could...

thanks all. I'll definitely try to get the DS client on Citrix. Sounds like that's our best option.

The developers overseas have the client installed on their local clients, connected to our network. We did consider using a citrix setup, where they would log into a session and run it from the network. Would that be preferred (faster)? We are also considering seting up a local workstation or server...
