Hi, I can use a job parameter without difficulty. I think the problem must come from the conversion string to decimal. the data I am using is numeric and a env variable being a string, I need to convert it to decimal. I use the function StringToDecimal(%string%,[%rtype%]). I put my string in but I a...

Hi,

I would like to use an environment variable in a transformer stage within a PX job. The function GetEnvironment should handle that operation but it does not work on my system. Has anybody tried something similar?

Thanks

Hi, If you are designing your job control with a job sequencer, you can use the option: Reset if required, then run under execution action in your job activities. Otherwise, using a routine, you can call a jobrun with a reset option: ErrCode = DSRunJob("JobHandle", DSJ.RUNRESET ) Your job ...

Hi, I read COBOL files from Server and PX. Depending on where the jobs is built, I have access to the corresponding tab (Server under Server and Parallel under PX). My guess is you can access COBOL tab from Mainframe jobs but I don't have any way to verify it since we do not make mainframe jobs. You...

I am interested in making exports from a prompt too. I found the command but I can't make it work. The usage is: usage: dscmdexport [/H][/U][/P][/O] project filepath [/V] /H Host name. /U User name. /P Password. /O Omit flag. project Specifies the project name. filepath Specifies the export file nam...

Hi, I do not know of any way to see the logs for all jobs controlled by another one in Director. However, I needed to do something similar in my project and the best way I found was to do this using a routine. Here are the steps: 1. Get the log from your controlling job ( use DSGetLogSummary() ) 2. ...

Thanks a lot BP,
My env var were not set properly. It works now

My goal is to write a routine that will do the copying for me. You think it's possible? How can I check if my librairies are set up correctly? I can see the env var but I don't know where the PX components are found. It is probably under the PXEngine directory but then again, I also have a PXEngine....

Thanks BP,

Being a newbie with PX, I do not know how to build OSH job, is there a document explaining how to do it somewhere?

Hi all, I have a PX question. Is it possible to save a copy of a Data Set under a different name for historical purposes? I would like to be able for example to rename a Data Set named example.ds to example20030407.ds. I tried changing the name of the file, changing the names of the differents files...

Thanks BP, I thought it might be a bug too so I contacted Ascential on this and they are investigating the case. Meanwhile, what you are saying about post processing interests me. I am still a newbie with PX. Could you tell me more about dsrecords? Where should I enter it? I can't find a reference f...

Hi, As anybody tried to obtain stats from Parallel extender? When I check show performance statistics in designer, I always get zeros everywhere. The same happens while using the function DSGetLinkInfo() asking for row count (zeros all the way). I know for sure that there are records being transfere...

Christophe, To answer your question about accessing logs of jobs within a job sequencer. I talked with Ascential and it seems to be more complicated then I thought at first to get the job names in order to read the logs. The job names are easily viewable through DS Manager if you look at the job dep...
