Hi Simon, I haven't seen the exact message you describe, but with a client I worked with recently (on 5.1) I sometimes got an error message stating that maybe Datastage wasn't set up correctly. One way to get around the error was to delete the 'offending' stage and redo it as an exact match and the ...

I don't know if there will be any other comments that you can use, but using the DSJobStartDate encompassed by '#' in the filename works perfectly on a 5.1 installation running on W2K. Unfortunately you cannot browse the file from the Designer afterwards but you can from the explorer. B. Sorensen, O...

Hi Xiong, You haven't exactly included a lot of detail as to what is not working, but I do have a couple of suggestions for you : Have you remembered the include : $INCLUDE DSINCLUDE JOBCONTROL.H in your code ? DSJ.ME is the jobhandle for the current job so you don't do the line: JobHandle = DSJ.ME ...

As Eric just answered in another thread :

From a unix prompt ...

set your variable in your shell.
cd to the project directory
use /dsjob -run -local

Thanks for that bit of info Ray.

Do you know if that works on a per user basis, per license basis or per server basis ?

Hi Cal, Every time a job is started you can tell it how many warnings to accept before aborting. That is true wether the job is started manually in the director or under some sort of job control. You can call the DSSetJobLimit(JobHandle, DSJ.LIMITWARN, 1) before the DSRunJob. Then your job will abor...

Hi Ray and Michael.

No. 6.0.1 is not certified for Win2003 and quite rightly so, as it doesn't work.

7.0 is certified for Win2003 according to the installation CD readme file and Ascential. The fact that it also doesn't work is a minor detail. [:D]

Hey Kim, I'm afraid that's not quite true in this case. As I stated earlier in this thread : When I do a restore to a different project than that from which the backup is taken, everything works just fine. Even if I delete the (new) project completely before running the restore. All I have to do aft...

Hello ff You can indeed get to the log-info of a job. It does require some knowledge about the log-file though. Each job you have in your project has a set of files created by Datastage. The files are hash-files type 30 (dynamic) and the names are : DS_TEMPnn, RT_CONFIGnn, RT_LOGnn and RT_STATUSnn w...

Hello everybody, My client is experiencing very serious problems with running Datastage on a Windows 2003 Server. Version 6.0.1 stops responding after about 5 minutes and no clients can connect to it. Ascential has been informed and suggested we install version 7.0. Alas. Same problem. The Datastage...

Hi Chris, I've just tried your solution and I cannot get it to work. I've created a seq-file with 7 names in one row. Put it it through a transformer using concatenation and CrLF and write it to a new seq-file. Put it through another transformer (having changed both in- and output links to have deli...

Yeah. But wouldn't the use of e.g. a dynamic hash file do some resizing during a 5 mill. record run ?

If it is at all possible use sequential files instead of hash files for performance reasons.

Hi Ray, I'm not worried about deleting the entire project as it's only used for backup/restore testing. I can easily use normal explorer copying. That works fine. But if I delete the project and then run the uvrestore I get the following error messages and still not a working project : WARNING: Erro...

Hi Ken. Thanks for your reply. I was afraid it would end up like that. I have tried to search the forum for automated exports but haven't been able to find out how to do automated exports of individual jobs? So far I've only been able to do a command line export of the entire project and as my clien...

Hi all you experts [:)] I have a problem doing backup/restore using uvbackup/uvrestore that I hope you guys can help me with. The system is v.5.1 and is running on W2K (both server and client). The uvbackup is fine. I get a very nice backup image, but when I get to the restore part the project is 'd...
