So, I'm assuming the jobs are running but not logging where you expect them to. Check this post and see if it helps. ... Yes indeed, this was the answer to my problem.

Hope it is not a multi-instance job and you seeing a different instance whose log has been cleared. Try calling this job from a sequencer and see the 'related log' from the sequencer log. Log in ...

I also have the same error with the V8.0.1 client install as well as with the V8.1 install. Did anyone already solve this issue?

Thanks

Hi Aruna and Varius,

is the definitive answer that you can't tune the IA report templates?
And Cognos is the only solution to do so?

Thanks in advance,
Wim

Re: Erroneous data goes undetected in a Flat File Stage

if you use decimal instead of integer, (decimal[10,0]) it will work. Looks like the issue is coming from the fact than orchestrate is using sscanf and all the other strto... functions to convert. I'm still looking for a way to enforce the format, but decimal is working (I already did a test). Dan D...

I think that interpreting "123AA" as an integer is incorrect as well. ... Nonetheless I do think that this should be given to your support provider as a case for IBM to fix ... This would be consistent with a DataStage strategy of detecting and rejecting any erroneous data. But you can't ...

Erroneous data goes undetected in a Flat File Stage

When you read from a file using a flat file stage, it will generate errors when the data cannot be parsed according to the specified schema definition and other format specifications. Records that don't satisfy the specification can be sent to a rejects link. This is behaviour we appreciate. But som...

Parameter values of a sequence that is restarted

When the general property 'Add checkpoints...' of a sequence is set, then the sequence is restartable. When such a sequence aborts then it is in the state 'Aborted/Restartable'. I noticed that there doesn't exist any action named 'Restart' or such. The only action to restart this sequence is 'Run No...

Call DB2 stored procedure

Using the DB2 API Stage, I can call a stored procedure instead of upserting: SQL "call apply_rechtstoestand (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?);" I cannot define a reject link. Using the DB2 Enterprise Stage, I can define a reject link. I cannot call a stored procedure. Is there any way t...

Roy, indeed. I forgot the /.dshome, which I also will need to copy by hand. But the version of DS is 7.5.1A. If I'm well informed, it is the first version which officially supports multiple DS servers on a single UNIX box. This is our case. As /.dshome can only point to one of the multiple servers, ...

DS server move

We are moving the DataStage installation from one Solaris machine to another one. Of course we could re-install the DataStage software. But a simple unmount of all concerned filesystems and remount on the new Solaris server seems also be a correct option. All the code, configurations, etc is located...

Prerequisites for the DB2/UDB Enterprise stage

Hi, the installation guide is unclear as to the relation between DB2 V8 with DPF and the DataStage DB2/UDB Enterprise stage. In order to take advantage to the parallel capabilities of the DB2/UDB Enterprise stage, it is clear that the database must also be parallel (DPF). But can this stage be used ...
