Shodan ... MetaStage does not have the ability to compare objects across verions. You can set up automatic e-mail notification of "possible" table changes. Then when you import those tables again from ERwin, an e-mail will be sent to the interested party informing them that their tables MA...

Hi Geek ...

1(c) no
1(d) meta data is available, but is very complex query
1(e) yes - if this table (routine, etc.) changes, what jobs use it?
2(a)(i,ii,iii,iv) yes
2(a)(vi,vii,viii,ix,x,xi) no - what you will get is rows read & written
2(b) probably yes

Ok ... create a User-defined category and manually populate it with ERwin tables. Now when you reimport from ERwin, any incomingtables which match those already in your User-defined category will get automatically refreshed.

Sorry, but best advise is to reboot ... and then follow the Installation procedures very carefully ... everything works.

... thanks Ray ... really good info.

Not yet ... you are constrained to VBS until Hawk.

First glance seems to suggest that you did not install the DataStage7 MetaBroker ... log line 5 declares selected MetaBroker not found. Suggest you reinstall ALL your MetaBrokers.

Database metadata can only be imported from the modeling tool (the physical model) or from DataStage. MetaStage cannot access the database system catalog.

I wish you luck ... a report showing the source to target mapping for each stage in a process is an extremely complex query ... one that Ascential (oooops, I mean IBM) has suggested should best be contracted to them to create.

The limitation I am referring to deals with the fact that within a DataStage project repository there are many hundreds of objects. With one exception, these objects do not carry a project ID. Yes, you can import multiple DataStage projects into a single repository, but now the objects cannot be eas...

One of the most significant limitations to MetaStage (and which is still found within the Hawk release) is that the repository is project-level - it is not an Enterprise repository. MetaStage can fully address only one DataStage project. Should you have multiple DataStage projects and wish to combin...

The ConnectedTo function cannot be scripted. The scripting language will change with the Hawk release ... and I suspect we will all have more scripting power.

Victorbos ... we have set up a large number of smaller projects to cope with the complexity of our programs as a whole. Now, we wish to use Metastage to be able to display relationships across projects The prime issue here is that MetaStage is a Project-level repository. There is a solution here, bu...

dls ... Presently a MetaBroker for System Architect is not available ... but you might check with the Support folks to see if one is in the works. And yes, if you want to create a meta data POC now, you will need MetaArchitect. MetaArchitect will need to read a flat file (CSV or XML). So you will ne...
