[quote="ray.wurlod"]There are no changes in functions. Only new functions. Everything in 7.5 will work in 8.0, according to everything we've had from IBM. ...[/quote] When the developers are in the back room tweaking the transformer code and the merge code and the other stages and change t...

The "relative merits" question is entirely hypothetical - it's done, and they're not going back. In version 8.0 the structure of the common Repository is far more complex than what is required for DataStage alone - it is closer to the MetaStage hub in design. To achieve first normal form,...

[quote="bcarlson"]Perhaps I spoke (bragged?) too soon. It looks like you're one (or more?) up on us in terms of versions. We are using DS PX 7.1r2 and when we switch to 64-bit AIX, we are staying with 5.1. That probably would explain the difference in our experiences. Did you ever try any ...

[quote="bcarlson"]I don't know about a 64-bit DataStage, but the normal version should be able to run on 64-bit AIX. We are currently on DB2 7.2 and AIX 5.1, 32-bit and are upgrading to 64-bit (AIX 5.1 and DB2 8.2) next month. As for 'not stable on AIX' as a 32-bit app, then our last year ...

[quote="trokosz"]If this is a PX job with a server stage in it, the time-based job monitor is likely the problem. There is a section in the 7.5 release notes about it. You should configure that specific job to use row-based monitoring by setting BOTH the following variables: APT_MONITOR_TI...

[quote="kduke"]The memory leak appears to be an Oracle client issue. We have 2 versions of 8.1.7. The test and dev versions are the same and there is no leak. The production version is different and does not have the issue. The Oracle 9.2 version works as well. It only works with the Oracl...

[quote="mee"]Does anyone know when will parallel extender will be available as 64 bit on AIX 5.1? Additionally, has anyone tried successfully invoking the a DB2 stored procedure in a parallel job? If so, could you pls post what are the steps needed. Thanks in Advance.[/quote] Why would you...

[quote="kduke"]I think our Designer problem is a Windows 2000 issue. The memory leak is a server side problem. I think a lot of issues are going away except for these 2. If you use XP and have no issues with 7.5.1 or 2000 and you do then please post. The memory leak kicks in on about 2 mil...

This was all developed under 6.0 probably two years ago (or more) and when Ascential DataStage was first brought into the enterprise. [quote="T42"]You do realize that you can actually declare NEXTVAL on the output SQL within the Oracle Enterprise stage? The Surrogate Key generator is only ...

All: I am a DataStage novice so please provide as detailed feedback as you see fit and have time for; I am researching this but figured I would ask you, the expert DataStage users/developers, for your suggestions. I have a Custom Stage written in C++/Oracle Pro*C/C++ that fetches a sequence value (N...

[quote="ray.wurlod"]Many's code can be implemented either in job control (in a server job), or in a Routine, preferably of before/after genre. It can not be implemented directly in a parallel job. Typically you run the parallel job, then use this kind of processing from job control (or thr...
