Now you can have your after job sub routine read this file to get the first event id for your run, get the last event id and then use the GetLogEntry in a loop starting from the first event id to the last event id, to g...

As the name suggests, you need to use the Load Stage. Go through the pdf file for the BW PACK on how to use this and other details.

Re: BAPI times out with RFC Error: Time Limit exceeded

There would be a time-out period set on the R/3 side - causing the DataStage job to abort with the error that you get. Loks like the time out is set to some what close to 20 min in this case, making your job abort after 20 min. You cannot run a BAPI in thebackground mode from DataStage... I believe ...

This is because you have duplicate records in your Reference link to the PolicyLu look up. Remove the duplicate, and the warning will be removed, but if you require the duplicate values then you should allow the multiple entries in look up - set the option in the constaints tab of the look up stage....

I believe you have to provide details like - system#, host name and (or) router string - for using a parameter for SAP environment.

You can do this by clicking the arrow beside where the SAP Environment has to be provided. This would give you a few options like - select, properties etc.

Somethings just need to be done the hardway. :(

As Kumar suggested, since its the node 6 that is missing from action as per your log, you could checkout this node for any trouble - at that time.

Sequence, my friend... Its a job Sequence.

Dont confuse it with a Sequencer. Sequencer is an activity available within a DataStage Job Sequence, just like the Job activity and Routine activity.

When you want to run your job is a Scheduling consideration. It has nothing to do with your job design (though sometimes scheduling consideration affects job designs).

Ray,

The priorities are purely to avoid or minimise any memory and other such resource constraints on the DS Server. Does the breaking up of a project somehow help in this?

What is the problem? Can you be specific?

Were you not able to split the large file using a counter (as was mentioned in Vincent's post linked above by DSGuru) in the Transformer???
