It's a bug in DRS stage in 7.5.2.
A patch number 704210 has been created for testing. You can ask IBM for it and close this thread if it resolves your problem.

I suspect there is a bug in DRS since I just got the same problem, and I trid it in ODBC Enterprise and it works fine to take the Environment Variables. I can see the failure message of expanding EV in director log as such: Offering_Selection,0: Fatal Error: Fatal: Unable to connect to database serv...

I don't think the log size will impact the performance of a specific job run. However, it definitely costs big time on overall performance for DataStage server to maintain such a high overhead, especially while you are trying to view log in director or parsing the log information. Maintaining 7 or l...

Hi All, It ends up to change Byte Order in record option of CFF to "Big-endian" solves the problem. I believe the "Native-endian" is default to take the High-Byte from Right (Little-endian) in Windows, and High-Byte from Left (Big-endian) in Unix that is the right order to read B...

Sorry guys, I forgot to put the solution for this topic. Hope someone else might get help from this update/ I installed Loopback Adapter based on Steele's recommendation, and it works fine so far versus instable DS server connection without it. Following is the steps to install LoopBack Adapter: 1. ...

Brian was right! There is GetEnvironment in Utility will help you get the value of any environment variable. Go to Utility ->GetEnvironment in derivation editor, and provide the syntax like GetEnvironment("APT_CONFIG_FILE") will do the trick for you... My previous method will also do this ...

You cannot refer the env variable (Startign from $) in Derivation Editor pf Transformer. You get compilation error if you do that. So far, I am not aware of any function available in Tranformer will help you retrieve the value of an env variable. The only option for you is probably call this job fro...

Thank you for clarification!

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know if UDB Enterprise Stage is included in Windows 7.5x2??
I looked through the repository items from Customize Palatte, and canot find DB2/UDB Enterprise. I believe I select every item when I installed DS Windows 7.5.x2 server. Please help!

Brad,
You need to pay attention to the PrivateKey and PublicKey Gen process.. Ensure the the Server Names on both machines FULLY match the fast names you use in your APT_CONFIG_FILE. FULLY means short host name matches short host name, long name goes to long name...Good luck!

Search the word: APT_NO_JOBMON. It's been discussed several time last year... The latest version 7.5.2 actually resolves this issue, or get the patch for 7.5.1A from IBM Support to fix it.

Sam, Thanks for try, your information is very appreciated! I can't mention name in this public site, but I assure you the IBM response on MetaStage usage reference is coming from top level of Metastage Product Management. Although they said to me they will reply me with official note on this regard ...

Hi Everyone, Happy new year! Could anyone provide some named companies who have succefully implemented MetaStage in past five years, or maybe some companies you have worked on this product. Any information is appreciated. I had a hard time to convience IBM to release the information since they insis...

Hi everyone, Can you please shed some light on the following issues: We upgrade the DS Server from 7.5.0 to 7.5.2, and all the DB2 PX jobs don't work any more. We kept getting Time-Out when DS launch "rsh". We wraped rsh with ssh, so the DS is actually using ssh. We check the Configuration...
