Default warnings limit in the Designer
Ok... where in the heck does one change the default 'Abort job after X Warnings' limit in the Designer? I hate the fact that it defaults to Unlimited and it keeps becoming an issue because people don't seem to remember it works that way.
The 'Tools/Options' setting for the Director only works for jobs run from the Director. There's no equivalent setting I've ever found in any of the other tools at any level. Is there perhaps a registry hack we can use to set that or are we stuck with it defaulting to Unlimited forever?

The default default (ibid?) on version 7.0 is 50. Just checked. I'll have to wait till I get to a 7.5 system to verify your assertion.
As to where it's set elsewhere, it wouldn't be a Registry hack if it were going to control dsjob - which can be, and usually is, executed on the server. Most of my scripts explictly specify -warn 2 or thereabouts in any case, since very few (if any) of my jobs generate warnings other than genuine ones.

Right... from a job control or scripted standpoint, I'm good. Warning limits are throttled down appropriately and I can handle the default of 50 from the Director. Specifically wondering how to change the seeming default of Unlimited warnings to something more... limiting... when running a job from the Designer.

I guess the question is why running from Designer doesn't pick up the defaults specified in Director. Have you asked this over on ADN, or of your support provider?

Hi,
We are using Data Stage 7.5, Data Stage Client is installed in 5 PC's, Intially during the development of the job default limit is 50. One of my collegue was changed it to Unlimited. In the Data Stage Director in my pc (except the pc of my collegue who changed), the default is still 50 for that job. Whereas if we run, it was running good for more than 50 warnings. I guess it is a bug in Data Stage. Please clarify.
Regards,
O.A.C.

Bad news on the 7.5.1A front Craig. Changed the default to 150 in Director(Tools/Options), bounced server, launched a job:
Not only did it stay Unlimited, the default number (should you choose to accept it) was still 50.
The mystery continues. My money is on "hard-coded", with a slim chance of "Registry Setting".
