Does DRS stage use ODBC?? or the native client connection?? That's exactly what's weird. The DRS stage for connecting to SQL server from Unix, always uses ODBC. It does not fail. Also, other projects ODBC stages do not fail when this occurs. That is, this problem when it occurs does not span the Da...

TCL\TK package for AIX

Beware that loading the TCL/TK package on AIX on the same datastage server that houses the Sybase 12.5 or prior Open Client will cause problems for the datastage environment due to library files having the same name! I did not need the TCL/TK package on the datastage server, so I removed it to fix t...

Yes, but not for Oracle. We use the ODBC stage and the DRS stage for connectivity to SQL server and DB2.

No, has nothing to do with the database side. It is all ODBC stages to any ODBC source or target. DB2, SQL Server, etc... All fail. I will try what Ray has suggested the next time it happens.

Error using dsjob to get latest log information (wave=0)

On newly created projects in test and production, when we try to pull out the log information using dsjob, we get a -1003 error. I suspect that this means that the Template is corrupt. How do we fix it? $ dsjob -logdetail SMds02 LIR_DlySvcCshrCriteriaPfrmHst_060_Ld Error -1003 getting details for wa...

Ultramundane, What has been the response from IBM when you raise this issue with them? They got really really mad at me for pointing this flaw out. I was able to get them to fix several other security flaws. They said to make sure that you only give access to your very trusted developers. They also...

Ok, so stop using it and "do it yourself". Ray, I am afraid the world doesn't work that way or at least my view of the world. I believe that we all rely on others whether we like it or not. Anyways, who is to say some other solution won't have pitfalls. I see no merit in your response. Al...
