Hi,
I have realy big problem, I think.
Me licence has expired and I can't export jos to dsx files.
The new licence has new serial number so I have to reinstall DataStage.
Maybe you know how I can save my project?
Please tell me that it is possible...

akrzy,
don't panic!
Nothing is lost. I would take a UNIX level backup of all of your project directories, just to be on the safe side, before activating with your new key.
You should be able to go into your administrator and enter the new license details and reactivate your DS system.

what if you stop DS engine usingYou should be able to go into your administrator and enter the new license details and reactivate your DS system.
"uv -admin -stop"
after license expiration ??
Can you run administrator then ??
I can't!! I'm getting error message like this:
Code: Select all
Sorry, this version of DataStage server has expired.
An error has occurred during DataStage initialization
Please contact the system administrator

Luk,
if the administrator is not available for a license change, then you will be able to run an install; I can't test it here but the procedure should detect existing projects while upgrading the master account and add them. If you make a copy / backup of the project directories then you will be 100% safe should something go wrong and always have the option of creating an empty new project and copying the file structure from a backup into it. NB that you need to ensure that you copy all access rights, rwlocks and hidden files otherwise it won't work.

If you still can't see the projects after installing the server with a different serial number, it may still be possible to recover. In essence you need to update the "system tables" (particularly UV.ACCOUNT and the SQL Catalog) with references to the extant projects.
Post again if this turns out to be the case.

If above procedure for new licence to update does not work, it is worth to try unix level back-up for the project directory, then installing new DataStage in new box. Next creating a project with same name as previous one, then replace entire project directory wich back-up.
I am not sure it always work, but worth to try in the case nothing you can do about licence.
