Thanks ... I know about the LIMITS method, but was hoping there was another more direct way such as IF ERROR_CNT > 0 MOVE 3 TO ABORT_STATUS.

Guess I will have to chalk that up to wishful thinking ...

Hi Gang ... Been reading posts but do not see straight-forward way to say "if I have more than 50 validation errors (out of range, etc.) then I want to abort the job". I understand about an after job routine, but is there a way within DataStage to accomplish this? Thanks in advance ... ......

i am not able to extract metadata of an XML file

What is the origin of this XML file? Is this operational metadata? And are you trying to import using DataStage or MetaStage????

... tom

Hexa ... Where exactly stores all the metadata and transformer logic? As you might guess, everything imported is stored in the repository by timestamped layers called Versions. But its important to understand that items such as User, new Templates and Queries and process metadata are all stored in t...

Stan ... This is what I have done: All the things you have done here were done correctly and in the correct sequence. Check data lineage in metastage explorer To use the shortcut menu, be in the MetaStage view and right-clk a source table. That should work (pg 12-27 in User's Guide). But I have neve...

Can I safely conclude that I can't use Erwin7 with Metastage for this release?

Well ... you have the empirical evidence ... looks like you can only use ER7 if you do a SaveAs. Thought we'd done a successful ER7 import, but we may also have done a SaveAs first ...

Be sure that Model Properties/Model Name are populated

Karine ...

Cannot find tag 'Model'

Be sure that Model Properties/Model Name are populated in the Physical model ... and try installing that.

It appears that you can only connect to an object of the same class Yes ... you may only connect objects of the same class. If you go to Tools => Class Browser, click the flag and open the ERwin model, you will see that Entity is not the same class as Table. You can use ConnectedTo to link ERwin Ta...

The current version of MetaStage is 7.5.2r8

... tom

Does anybody know if there are MetaBrokers for ERwin r7

ERwin 7 can be imported with the current ERwin 4.0 MetaBroker.

Class not registered

Might this be a PeopleSoft XML file ... ??

If we move to Datastage 8.0, can we still use current version of Metastage to import the metadata from Datastage 8.0? The answer is no ... MetaStage is sunsetted with Release 8 ... in it's place you have something called the Meta Data Services Layer which contains something called the Meta Data Wor...

Felipe ... 1. If you go to C:\Program Files\Ascential\MetaStage\unsupported\scripts you will find a sample script for BO. 2. Here is a script for importing ERwin: ' =============================================================================== ' Title: Import ERwin ' ' This script will import an ER...

... and another YES, but be aware that there is little to no additional value in the logical model over the physical.
