DSXchange

Thanks Ray...brilliant as usual!!

The %SystemRoot%\system32 portion of the path was somewhere in the middle of the PATH variable. I moved it to the beginning of the string and now all is well. :D

I log into the Administrator module and go to a project's properties. Where one can 'Test' the user name/password to see if they can schedule jobs, I get the following error: 'ATTRIB' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Can anyone help me with this? ...

I can log into DataStage when I select the 'Omit' button. However, when I enter a valid user name and password I get the 81016 error

I also cannot use 'localhost' as the server name, get the same error, I have to use the server name.

Any ideas on how to fix this

Many thanks

Hi Guys I have loaded DataStage 7.1r1 onto an AIX platform. Also loaded the SAP/R3 PACK. I can login to the DS project and can also see the SAP IDOCS. I then created and compiled a job.

:D Thanks guys for the input. :shock: WOW, got HPUX 11 weasing for air... :? Seems it's wise to be careful with this one. I reckon I will switch it on and see what happens.

Hi Guys I have been reading thru the topics wrt jobs locking and noticed that Ray mentioned the Deadlock utility. Most of the topics covered the Unix environment. In the Windows environment, would this simply be a case of editing the uvdlock.config file and changing it to start=1? What I would also ...

How would one do this i.e. what is required on the Unix side and are there any settings required for DataStage?

Thanks Muriel, it worked.

:oops: I deleted a project (all the folders) via Windows Explorer. When I start DataStage Administrator I get a message 'The directory you are connecting to either is not a UV account or does not exist (39125)'. When I try to add the project I get the message 'DSR.Amin An account called Demo already...

Hi Guys I know there are a number of entries in this forum on this topic. I have looked at them all, tried everything suggested and still get the timeout error even when I have no row bvuffering enabled and I'm not caching any hash files. The job itself is largeish, 4 transform stages and about 15 h...

:( I have been trying to import table definitions from a Sql Server 2000 database using the DataStage Manager. The user id I connect to the database has dbowner rights and therefore has nothing restricted. The import goes thru without any problems, but when I look at the metadata definition it only ...

How realtime can the jobs be run? I'm talking about minutes or even less and do you run the jobs using a scheduler or is there a executable that can be called to run a job/procedure?

Thanks guys, for the comments, it's much appreciated. I think I will go with the 'link' option and then take it from there.

Hi guys

Is it possible, using DataStage, to store a PDF document in a SQL Server database. If it is possible, what stage would I use to do this?

Many Thanks.

Hi Guys

Thanks for the input. I did install with dsadm. Ascential have come back to me and suggested that the install with another user id works, but the services must be started by root. So it's off to root I go I oh, I oh...
