Hi, I'm new in Mainframe Jobs and I have a question: How to run a mainframe job? I already made a job, generate a code(3 files - one COBOL, one JCL compile and one JCL run) and the code is in my personal machine, but the job does not appear in Director, I don't know if I need to put the files in the...

I've been at a number of sites who use Vincent's "hardest" approach happily. The mainframe jobs end in an FTP stage which transfers data files to the UNIX machine. Well, I think taht I will need to use Vincent's "hardest" approach happily. Because the client here wants that I cr...

Ok, thank you!
Let me try now.

Hi, Naveen.
Well, this is a good point.
At this moment I have to read from db2/mainframe.

Sorry for delay, I was out of office and ... Well, my question wasn't good. Trying again. I need to read a DB2/Mainframe and load a Oracle/Unix. My Data Stage Server is in Unix. And I don't know where start by. For example: 1 - In this case when I create a job, I indicate that this new job will be a...

I always worked with data stage reading from any database like Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, REdBrick, etc..

But now I will need read from Mainframe and as I don't have any doc to help me, I don't know where start by.

Can anybody help me?

Sorry, for the last message.

Thank you Craig, you are right.

I would like to know how often the DataStage server should be restarted?

Because, I resolved my problem only when I restarded the server, then I would like to know if exist any specification that indicates this?

Fernando

Well, I work remote. My Server is in Mexico and I'm in Brazil. Sometimes my connection go down and the jobs that were open, do locked. Then I enter in Director and open the Cleanup Resources option and gave a logout where is PHANTON. When do not work I enter in Data Stage Administrator and execute t...

Nobody changed the 'defaults' via the Director.
The process was running every day and sunddely aborted.

Nobody touched the job and nobody changed the password.

I have one job Batch that call other 5 jobs. But sunddely one job finish (job status = finished) but the batch do not call the next job. Or worse still, looking by DataStage Director Monitor all the stages have the Status = Finished but the job status do not update and stay the job and the batch wit...

I'm having some problems with parameters. I constructed some jobs with parameters and suddenly they do not work. I created parameters for date source name, user and password, in DB2 stage. And give me an error message saying that password or user is wrong. If I take off the parameter and put fixed v...

Ok, the reporting assistant was enough to me. It is not perfect, can be better, but in my case was enough. I had 2 problems: 1- I couldn't found the "doc_tool.mdb" file 2 - the reporting assistant do not export the reports to for example a pdf file. But I have Acrobat Professional, that in...
