Bugs for Version 7.x

Billyqing · Post by **Billyqing** » Mon Oct 25, 2004 3:21 pm

This post is for questioning the bugs in Version 7.x.

Has anyone experienced the bugs using DS 7.x server edition?

If so, please list anyone and the best practice to prevent it occur.

I am going to update DS 6.x to DS 7.x. Before doing that, one task is to

create a plan for how to effectively using DS and prevent the bugs happen during the usage of DS.

Appreciate for any response.

Thanks.

Which specific version of 7 are you planning on upgrading to? It would help to target any answers you get.

Also note that there is always a list of 'Known Issues' in the readme that ships with the product. If you have the media in hand, check it out.

Bugs is overrated. Daffy had more personality, while DataStage developers should have most empathy for Wile E Coyote (the business analysts are represented by Acme Corporation).

And Ray is the Road Runner.

Not here one second and then - with a whoosh and a 'Meep Meep!' - he's here, answered 20 questions and then gone.

I thought "Whoosh!" was the sound deadlines make as they rush by!

"Whoosh" is the sound Willi E makes when falling off a cliff. Bugs has always had more personality the Daffy so there :). Managers would have to be the martian (the one erroneously referred to as Marvin) who would blow up a planet because it blocks his view of Venus and throws 10's of '000s of troops to try and stop one lone wabbit.

I don't know who Yosemite will be ... any ideas?

A warner bros addict.

Since this thread has now been dragged waaay off-topic, why "erroneously referred to as Marvin"?

I have a basement crammed full of Marvin the Martian collectables from Warner Brothers before the Studio Stores were shut down.
