ODBC connection username issue

Hi All, We have a issue trying to connect to a SQLServer database via ODBC from our Unix DS box when using domain credentials for the user name. We receive the typical 'Login failed' BCI error.

The memory does NOT return if we bring down the engine. Also, they told me that when they start the machine without starting the DS engine the memory still 'disappears' after a short time. So, I'm thinking it is not DS...maybe like chulett mentioned it is a combination of OS, DS and hardware causing...

Memory leaks on Linux

Hi, We have an issue with our DS server (RedHat Linux 2.4.21-20, running DS 7.5.1.1) memory usage in that the amount of memory available never seems to increase after our jobs finish. If we reboot the machine most of the 3 GB of memory will be available, but once we run our jobs the amount of free m...

Thanks for the reply gentlemen. We are using an NLS enabled project and we also recognize that the nunber of lines of code plays a part, especially when the code is longer that one page in Manager. Also we found that this happens from three different clients when tested. I ran the commands that Ray ...

When saving a routine in Manager code is lost

Greetings All, We've been seeing some strange behaviour in Manager. After editing and saving a server routine, we find that not all the code is saved. It does not happen all the time, but frequently enough to be a problem as we are loosing code. I must mention it only seems to happen on routines whe...

The reason why the install script did not work was because the hidden dshome file in the root directory was not deleted.

Once this file is removed the install script worked fine. :D

Controlling Siebel DA Pack extract start / end dates

Hi PPL,

Is there a way to control the (delta) start and end extract date values when using the Siebel DA Pack?

We want to extract data based on specific values not neccesarily based on the last delta run. We are using the Siebel Pack version 3.0.2.

Thanks,
Tom.

Retrieving DBMS error messages

Hi PPL, Can someone educate me how to retrieve reject (warning) message from the server engine. What I want to do is write the database reject message (as it appears in the job log) to an table for all the rejects that the DBMS spits out. I have tried all the combinations of the DS macros and jobcon...

Howzit DenzilSyb, Firstly, it is not a good idea to change your uvconfig parameter BECAUSE that will cause all new hash files to be created as 64 bit which is probably not what you want. There is a better way - you can create a standard (32 bit) hash files and then resize it to 64 bit: RESIZE filena...
