DSXchange

I am sorry if I was oversensitive.. Last few days have been pretty rough..
Wish I had some emoticons with two hands cheering with beer glasses..

Once again, my apologies..

Ray, I don't think I would argue with you, but I don't believe using QS from DS comes as close to a "true" client/server as DS is. I think QS has to come long way to be as flexible as DS.. In your initial post , I thought you were refferring to the RTI .. I am not questioning your knowledg...

That's good to know Ray. I have never worked with RTI before , so I am completely clueless on that "animal"

DLS,
you should have asked.
DS and QS are completely different animals, different architectures, different mentalitied. QS is not a true client/server software to boot.

I have a few basic doubts with using QualityStage 1. Can I call a QualityStage job from a DataStage Server Job ? 2. I have a set of files on which frequency analysis is to be performed. I can use the Investigate stage from QualityStage for this. Now the analysis is performed on different set of col...

How can I prevent the hash file name to be drived from the link name? I have 3 different inputs to the hashfile and they all get split as DSLink1.<Hfname>, DSLink2.<Hfname>, etc. I have Link#1 -------| | -----------> Final H File Link#2 | | -------| Link#3 This is sort of similar to the previous day...

One word : QualityStage.

If you, as an alternative, try to "fish" <blank> + state code, what will you do if you have "Hartford CT" and "Hartford C.T" and "HArtford, CT" etc. etc. No easy way out..

Use QS, and sleep better at night :D

I have the following job structure. HASH FILE | | DsLink1 | TRANSFORMER --------->>> Hash File ^ | |DSLink2 | | ODBC I just want to be able to extract data from the ODBC stage using a query similar to SELECT * from ODBC_Table where OT_ITCGY = '1'AND OT_ITEM <= DSLink1.UpperLimit AND OT_ITEM >= DSLin...

In addition to Ray's non standard directory structure comment I'd like to ask if you have started qsserv on your machine. (From what it looks like you are running on your machine)..

I am trying to implement a solution where I will be able to input two parameters to my SAP extract. I need to extract data from SAP according to these limits. (There is actually a file of these upper and lower limits). I know ABAP Extract Pack cannot have an input. What other ways I can try to accom...

Kim, I have no idea why Ascential is doing things the way they do. I was abruptly kicked off the Ascential Developernet Forum AGAIN! (This is the 4th time). I approached them several times having a single account not associated with the product license number, I cannot even get a live person to repo...

Thanks Ray.. Then in that case the moot point of promoting the ABAP code becomes a problem when I will need to regenerate it in prod environment when DS code moves there. The client is not interested in giving the SAP account that is used by DataStage a write access in prod. Guess I will have to do ...

What happens to the ABAP code generated by DS PACK? Does it get stored in a specific place in SAP env. ? The other thing that came up was regarding the promotion of the ABAP code from dev to test to prod. Is it better to regenarate these in DS or can they be promoted by SAP process?

Thanks..

I have a client that is using the SAP - DS Enterprise suite combination. They are being approached by SAP about using MDM (SAP XI) for the ETL work by the same logic of Ascential (Why not take care of data work through a single vendor?) I just started to read about this SAP product and looks like it...

Gaurav, I am in the same boat as you are in terms of using SAP with DS. (Or is it the other way around?) :) There is a document titled "Ascential PACK for SAP R/3". You will be able to get most of your answers in there. The file name is dsR3.pdf that I have been going through it for last 2...
