DSXchange

I do not know for sure but strongly suspect that it uses standard memory allocation, which via your operating system also provides virtual memory. I also think there is more going on behind the scenes than the classroom training or the documentation tells us. For instance, I once had a normal lookup...

My coworker was able to resolve this on 11.3 with an all-encompassing dynamic setting change in WAS (no WAS restart required)! 11.3 has SSL_TSL which supports all SSL and TLS 1.0, but not TLS1.2. 11.7 has SSL_TLSv2, which supports all SSL and TLS variants. For WebSphere Network Deployment: In WebSph...

One of our ISD application web service consumers has said they just disabled TLS 1.0 on their side and can no longer access the secure web services we host using ISD. Does that mean that ISD 11.3.1.2 only has TLS 1.0 enabled out of the box? We are being asked to switch to TLS 1.2, which I thought IS...

In general first thing I would check with a connection failed / host unreachable type of error is to check for a firewall in the way between your server and the database server on the specified port. One way you can check is from your DataStage server's command line, use the telnet command with synt...

Sounds like a good question for IBM Support. A quick support portal search on JR42097 reveals that "No results found." Of course, that could mean the search is not working...

I have also found that the ODBC DSN needs to be <= 8 characters; you've got 9.

And, the DSN <SKYRPD> in the uvodbc.config file needs to match the DSN [MYSQLPROD] in the .odbc.ini file.

Doing a ping is a reasonable, general test but not quite the same as making a database connection. Just because ping succeeds or fails does not mean that you will be able to connect to the database. It is better to do a ' telnet target_db_server db_port ' command from your AIX Information Server. If...

If you just want to create a text dump of the folder structure, then I suppose you could piece it together from a DSX or ISX export file. Is that what you're looking for? What have you tried?

Yes there can be tables, if you define your rules that way. See this help topic.

In a Parallel job: Use the Conversion() function to convert an input string from hexadecimal to decimal with conversion code MX and conversion mode I. Conversion(link.column, 'MX', 'I') See the Knowledge Center online or the Parallel Job Developer's Guide Appendix B. Parallel transform functions for...

We have indeed looked into the web-based flow designer and acknowledge that it is a work in progress. In general I think it is a move in a good direction. We have not, however, used it to help narrow down the hang issue in the thick-client Designer. Thank you for the idea.

We've had one developer report that DataStage Designer 11.7.x hangs a lot as he is opening multiple jobs, but it does not enter into a "Not Responding" state and does not give an error. He's on a normal, wired connection (no wireless), and it's the same connection he uses for 11.3.x. We ha...

Never heard of it...

Just curious, how can a code quality checking tool go beyond checking if naming conventions are followed to checking whether or not the code (or job design) met the requirements? Kind of seems like you need a human involved.

If you want a more active type of monitoring, then yes, they could have staff monitor using Director which you have to install, but the the web-based Operations Console is also available. Just give them access and the URL. As far as text alerts go, most wireless carriers have an email-to-text path a...

We did something very simple and made it part of our development standards, which was to always send sequence job abort notifications to a separate mailing list and always include "Aborted" in the subject line so that everyone receiving the emails could create mail rules to help alert them...
