you can (in manager) create new category, select (ctrl+A) all jobs in old one and simple move them (using mouse) to a new category folder :)

hi!

it Converts a string in format YYYY-MM-DD to a numeric internal date,
for example:
TAG.TO.DATE("1993-02-14")=> 9177

(see DS Server Jobs Developer guide page 20-4)

Internal date - it is number of days since 31 December 1967 (day 0)

But then, why are the tables identical and present in different rdbms? Is it some kind of extract produced from various different sources? I will give example: MSSQL database1: tableA(col1,col2...) tableB(col1,col2...) MSSQL database2: tableA(col1,col2...) tableB(col1,col2...) databases have the sa...

All he meant was that you could set up multiple ODBC sources in the configuration files and then specify the correct one for each run via a job parameter used in the DSN field.
so, it is the same solution as Arnd gave !!

table are identical in 100% because database is a part of special financial system and must be the same every time!!

I know that I can manualy change ODBC sources, but Sainath said sth. about parameters and I don't know what he had in his mind.

anyway thanks for help!

Can you not pass the Database instance, userid, and password into your job as parameters so that it will connect to the appropriate ODBC database at runtime? you have right yhat will be working:) but second option is more tempting for me :) because I don't want to add parameters to every job which ...

You can do this in DS by sorting the source and concatenating the desc on identical keys followed by writing into an hash file with the key as your source key. in what way you want to do concatenation?? using stagevariables as battaliou said?? nothing else (exept of stagevar) is coming into my mind!

the limit defaults to "no limit", so each time you want to limit a run you would need to specify that in the director's run box.
Yes I know, but my question is: can I set limit default to i.e. 1000 (instead of "no limit" ??

is it possible??

adding job parameter to many jobs

Is it possible to add 1 (the same) job parameter to many jobs (i.e 50 or more) in one time??
Or must I add it manualy many times (opening each job and add parameter)??

Regards
