DSXchange

So here's a question. Our WS App Server and DS Engine are on two different machines. We have scripts on the DS server to enable our services upon reboot. However, more and more often both of these servers are patched and rebooted at the same time. Which is problematic since the WAS server needs to b...

Thanks for the info - this should work great. I'm embarassed to admit I didn't know that we had a way to execute uverse commands outside of Administrator. I'll be digging into using this over the weekend.

Thanks again,

Quick question (hopefully). From the command line, if I have a job name, is there any way to easily get the job number? (-jobinfo output doesn't contain this.) *OR* from the command line, if I have the job number, is there any way to easily get the job name? I tried searching the various RT_ files w...

Thanks for the information. We have another group that's looking into software outside of DataStage that can do this monitoring for us, and I'll pass this along. I'm looking for some way to accomplish this inside the DataStage (or InfoSphere) application itself, but it's looking more and more like t...

Hello; I searched quite a bit this morning, but have found nothing really directly about this topic - so I'll go ahead and ask. Apologies if I'm repeating something. We're using web-services; is there any way to keep track of exactly when a service is called? We're primarily interested in somehow lo...

Hello; Reading in hierarchical XML (from an ISD or flat file) and running through any of the available 8.7 XML stages, at some point when I connect to another stage all of the fields need to be explicitly defined. That being the case, is there any mechanism in 8.7 to handle repeated XML nodes of an ...

I've just gone buggy for the last half hour searching for this topic, but don't see it discussed. Feel free to flame me if I've missed this discussion elsewhere. So here's the situation. I have a sequencer which calls a job. If the job has an encrypted environment variable (EV) that the sequencer do...

Craig; Thanks for the *extremely* clear and concise answer. This morning I was able to get everything finally working as it should, and am able to start realizing just some of the ways these variables things can be used. A quick follow up. In your last example, you show how such variables can be use...

Hmmm, someone seems to have "unreplied" to this. :? Be happy to help with Stage Variables and detecting changes in repeating groups if there is a need... Umm, that was me. I had a follow-up question, but then realized my question bordered dangerously on being type where the person asking ...

Vincent; That's an excellent point, that I could compare the timestamp in development to that in VC, in order to verify that the code in development has not been tampered with since the last check-in. I'm definitely jotting that one down. Craig; The problem with the "Highest Version" optio...

Craig; This is true. But with this approach every time I have a change, I would need to check in the whole application; I couldn't simply check in the new/changed job and leave it at that. So in order to ensure I have a good copy, I would first have to push the latest copy to development (which shou...
