have a search for the dsadmin command, that might help
The command dsadmin is NOT used for Project Export and Import purpose instead for Creating/Deleting a Project and Creating/Deleting Environment variable and many more.

Search on uvbackup and uvrestore can resolve your issue.

Does it capture whole source row or only some referrence?
Does it capable of giving the reason of rejection?
1. Reject from only Source(if it is in Transformer Stage)

2. No. Reason for rejection should be user-described.

if they are being rejected from a Transformer stage you can click on the 'constraints' button (top left) and set up a reject link The constraints to a particular link will NOT result setting up a Reject Link to a Trasformer Stage. You might come to say that clicking on the Otherwise/Log in the Cons...

When you create any New Parallel Stage for generic or specific purpose, you may better have a practice of exporting Job Design along with the user-defined New Parallel Stage(s) which is(are) used directly or indirectly(--> Container) inside the Job Design, to another Project.

Hi, Use a Constraint IsNotNull(Column_name), and apply Null handling function NullToValue() for the columns which are getting dropped and you will be able to retrieve the records in reject link If the Stream Output Link of a Transformer Stage is converted to Reject Link using "Convert to Rejec...

ray.wurlod, If writes were not buffered your theory would be OK but this is not the case. If writes were NOT buffered, how dspxlearn's theory("if the 'Link Execution order" option on the transformer executes on the order we give") would be OK? I can remind myself to note the phrase fr...

Re: Source with zero rows but target with one row

Can I do it without using a routine? Yes. But instead, an insertion of Execute Command Activity in the Job Sequence to run a Shellscript(your OS) which checks whether the Sequential file is empty. If the Sequential file is not empty, Job Sequence continues to call the main Load Job. In this suggest...

The check boxes Custom Server Routines and Custom Parallel Stage Types are not available in DataStage v7.5x2. Help pages do not ensure availability of such options in the wizard.

They are available in DataStage v7.5.1.
