I thought you can only code in C....Am I in the dark

You wish!
Actually we compile all of our external routines using the C++ compiler. The last time I checked, most of DS is C++.

We switched early last year with no problems once the keys were set up for the dsadm account on all of the servers. We're using dsa keys. Just make sure that you can do ssh commands between the servers when you're logged in as dsadm and you'll have no problems with the switch.

When reading datasets it's important to keep in mind what is actually happening. Datasets are not normally sequential files. Just like a partitioned database, you have separate partitions that should be on separate devices or at least separate file systems. If you monitor the job, you should be able...

Ray, what manual has the UV command options descriptions?

Thanks,

Must be that side of the world.... :lol: No, really, is the DB catalog and datastage server on the same server? Does your network have automatic time synchronization? I did some research into the processes and if you're not changing the date, either you found a remarkable bug, or your servers are no...

okay, lets go further then. Is this a dataset or a flat file? Is the datastaqe server and database in the same time zone? Is the output server in the same time zone as datastage? Is the Datastage client in the same time zone? What timezone is all of the above? (I've seen date differences from US to ...

I know of a firm that is running DB2 on more CPUs than the license is for.
It seems to work fine, using all CPUs on the servers.

I tried that, but by removing the users from the datastage group, they were effectively disabled. I had to change the permissions on the files you had listed, and they were back at work again.

Thanks,

Well yes.
With version 8, to get full functionality, you'll need a license for DS, one for Quality Stage, and (I believe) one for the Business Glossary,
along with the various client licenses, of course.

Did you check for triggers? What is the column definition of the date in the table vs. the definition in DataStage? Are you extracting from the table using a select * or select Col name, or select coalesce(colname,'2000-01-01') Or anything like that? How do you specify the date files on the sequenti...

There's normally 2 licenses. One for the clients and one for the server(s). If you have a 3 client license, then 3 developers can be logged in at one time. If you have a 4 CPU server license, and you have 6 CPUs, you'll get a warning message on the log every time a job runs. Etc. Upgrading a client ...

Kim,

Did you ever find your script? I'm, in the midst of changing the group for developers on a development system and am running into some permission problems.
At the same time, our security department is complaining about rwx for 'others' on any files.

thanks,

you can't avoid some processing on the datastage server. If nothing else, startup and shutdown for the job run locally. When you said you were running an MPP system, I gues I was assuming the tables and databases were defined across the nodes. If the database you are going against is only on server ...

Whew, I guess you had to be there.... DSEE has to be installed on each of your servers or installed on one server and NFS mounted on the other server. The fastname of the server where the job is running has to be in the config file and all of the servers where the database has defined nodes. I am as...
