I went through the following 2 processes:
for SOLARIS (64bit OS):
- change uvconfig file parameter from 64BIT_FILES 0 to 64BIT_FILES 1
stopped DS services
started DS services
I did exactly the same for my windows 2000 professional on my desktop - a 32 bit machine. I created a job that writes to a HASH file and there were no warnings, no fatals - just a finished-OK run.
If the creation of 64 bit hash files is automatic after following the above process, then I would expect DS on windows to complain about some sort of invalid parameter. I can only conclude then that DS does not automatically create 64 bit HASH files - based on the "ONLY valid on 64-bit capable platforms" in the uvconfig file. It would mean then that for every HASH file we require that is larger than 32 bit allows, we need to create the 64 bit HASH manually.
Or is there a better way?
