DSXchange

Issue resolved after pointing to pam_aix libs. Local dsadm and dstage group removed , but created with same uid and gid on LDAP and accessed via centrify & pam_aix ( unix to LDAP bridge) . Effectively we got pam to work sucecssfully using the pam_aix 64 bit library. DS Engine parameters : AUTHEN...

I'm facing a rather peculiar situation here . I want to use credential mapping to set up user ids for a datastage 8.7 server we recently installed. Active security provider is Infosphere registry ( not J2EE) . We use the centrify PAM module for authentication to dsengine. 'dsadm' is setup on LDAP wi...

Marking this post as resolved. The UV Editor works just fine for me , through Unix.

The UV editor also makes it easy to scroll through the trace file or match wildcards in search.

I tried in unix , but all the DSR TRACE files start with -, so i could not view them.

Im trying universe , and hopefully I will be able to use the UV Editor to view the records in &COMO&

I'm currently using an approach similar to Ray's suggestions to archive files ( cpio+gzip) once they are created using unix date command with its format modifiers. works like a charm

I have a project where we enabled server side tracing to audit a protected project and make sure nothing happens that was out of our notice.

I regularly clean up those huge trace files to save some space .

Can I view these files on Unix ? The datastage administrator view box is of limited utility .

I dont think quality stage legacy server job stages ( v 7.5) are supported in IIS 8.5

As of now IIS 9.1 is being documented and document reviews are in progress- thats what I heard from our IBM support . Sorry no more v 8

You will find this info the parallel job developer guide and connectivity guide to SAS. Also in 8.5 or 8.7 there is also a legacy SAS dataset stage.

HTH

Hmm Interesting , Can someone use an XML output stage to add the top level root once they grab it from MQ ? Assuming the xml column is tagged as data element XML

That comment in the redbook is perfectly valid . They suggest using a filter ( Or Switch) stages only if the condition expression to be evaluated is parametrized ( and evaluated at runtime ) . Otherwise for all fixed conditions - go witha transformer. I doubt if they will mention it multiple times w...

yes , but nothing new in terms of features - and i guess that most transformation functions and stages are already available in server jobs. A better way to join data would have helped. I do appreciate the use of common repository objects . Im not sure if the underlying Universe engine is from the o...

in some cases as single server job may need to be broken up into multiple parallel jobs - think of how that will impact you sequencer redesign+development effort. If you are adding any parallel job environment variables ($APT_*) - you will need to include them in your sequencer if you want to change...

We asked this to an IBM sales and datastage concierge support person who participates in our install - he says none really.

90% of new features have to do with parallel jobs and other modules . maybe a few big fixes. No new stages, plug ins or packs for server jobs.

This is such an old thread , and has some useful , though possibly dated info . Given what i know about Ab-Initio - It looks like the Apple Macintosh of ETL. :) Most companies do not want to invest in Ab-Initio because developers are scarce and costly- I guess they (Ab-Initio) may have some learning...
