DSXchange

We are working to upgrade from 7.5.2 Server to 8.1 Enterprise. One of the features being replaced is the Version control tool. So, I'm trying to get the Packages process to work. We have a dev and a qa instance on the same server with different ports. I was able to create and build one package inclu...

Thanks for the tips and direction!!

I am looking for some Parallel Job training material. I am very familiar with Server Edition development, but would like to get up to speed with Parallel development. I may not get approved for training so I am looking for some kind of material to help. Please let me know if anyone has any informati...

Ok, so I have found some information on Protecting the project. I see some things on compiling, but not sure if I might be able to use them so still looking.

We have a new technology project underway for the entire company. Part of this new project is to centralize all programming components through a version control software called Clear Case. This includes all of our DS jobs. We had previously been using DS version control which would allow us to move ...

Additional information that I have gathered, we are also not write caching the file as we originally thought that it would be too large. For 15 million records, the length of each record is only 21? Our production and Test box are physically on the same server, just different LPAR's. DataStage is th...

I have a job that will take a flat file with 15 million records run it through a transform (only 2 input and 2 output fields) and write the records to a hash file. The hash file is Type 30 Dynamic, Minimum Modulus 1, Group size = 1, Split load 80, merge load 50, large record 1628, hash algorithm Gen...

THANKS ALL!!!!!! I can't believe I didn't come accross that.

I am having problems reading a .csv file. This file was exported from another application and I am attempting to read the information in DataStage. Since the file is a .csv, it is comma delimited and has " as the quote character. The problem I am having is the last column on the file is a notes...

I'm sorry, I am probably overlooking something that is extremely obvious, but I still don't see "4. Check integrity of job files". Is this still under DS.TOOLS?

Thanks for the posts so far, There isn't a lock on the paticular job that I am trying to remove. As far as what is listed in the DS.TOOLS command, I double checked and there isn't an option to check the project files. So, if someone knows how to get to that then let me know. Just as a side question,...

I did option 2 to re-index, then when I went to option 4 to Administer process locks, I didn't know which option to choose from there. Also, when you say to make sure I am the only one in DataStage, does that mean that paticular project or anyone in any project on the server?

Thanks,
JB

I have a developer that was working on integrating DS with another Change management software. Somehow he loaded a job into DS with a '.dsx' at the end of the job name. He went to remove the job and it indicated that the job was removed, however, when in Director a message comes up every time direct...
