I am new to Datastage/Qualitystage. The requirement is to cleanse international addresses. I am using WAVES stage and I do not know what should to be given for 'WAVES database location' option. If I give any random UNIX directory, the error is receive is 'error opening file the bind.tx'. It is looking for a bind.txt in the directory I specified for database location


Any reference to beginners guide for WAVES would help.


Thanks!

Have you purchased reference database for WAVES?

The worst part is none out here know if WAVES was purchased or not. But I do see WAVES under the repository and assumed that it was purchased.

No, the folder is always there. Is there anything in the folder and, if so, is it enabled or greyed out?

There are sub categories under WAVES Rules (AT, AU, US etc - they are country codes i guess). unser each county , i find CLS, DCT, PAT, SET etc. I provisioned them all. I also have WAVES stage under 'Data Quality' palette.

I doubt if you have purchased "QualityStage WAVES" database. Those rulesets you see under the folder WAVES Rules are used for standardizing purpose, but the stage expects country-specific postal reference files (Waves Database) for address correction, verification and enhancement.

Thats is exactly what i am trying to find out if WAVES has been purchases or not. No one here seems to remember anything about WAVES. Datastage is installed on Unix. Any default folder i can look into to see if WAVES is installed? Any particular file i can search for?

I fear that the WAVES is not purchased.
use QAS or MNS(if necessary).waves is not a qualitystage product.It has to be bought separately
