Hi,

I've seen a XML2DSX application in the InformationServer\Clients\Classic folder that could help you to convert your jobs.

Let us know if it does the job.

Hi,

You can run uv queries using uvsh command line tool.

Assuming that you have an sqlplus like app, with the correct credentials, it is possible to run quite the same query with the xmeta repository (if you're using an Oracle repository).

The first time I saw it was on dsxchange :)

Then I found it in a pdf, but I can't recall its name (one about job sequence).

You can find more info on IBM' website

Hi,

Is the content of the command line (except passwords) mandatory in the log?

If not, you can use the /NOLOG/ option in the EC activity.

Hi,

I personally use orchdbutil via execute command activity plus a server job to beautify the result before loading data. I guess it's the best way if you want something dynamic.

Hi, I don't know if I'm off-topic but could this be related to a wrong parameter value in the uvconfig file? Previously I got trouble with the number of opened file descriptors (DS could open as many as the OS permitted). Then I changed values in the uvconfig according to IBM's proposal and get it w...

Hi, As I've seen, it's a zip containing xml exports. The odd thing is that this xml export is different from the Desiner one (xml not formated with the same xml tags). From my experience, I got less problems with isx than dsx, at least for huge exports (whole projet in one file). One can also use th...

Hi, You need to use your DataStage installation's compiling options, which are located in the administrator as APT_COMPILEOPT environment variable (for me it's g++34 -O -fPIC -Wno-deprecated -c -m32 ). I suggest you to take a look at this post : http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/dw-soa/datastage-parallel-...

For information,

I get the same kind of behavior using an Oracle Enterprise to retrieve data (getting a "table or view does not exists"), and the job abort in some cases, but mostly continues and finish, even with this "Fatal" error.
