Redistributing DataStage Development Kit Applications

Hi, in the document it says:
If you want to run the application from a computer used as a
DataStage client, you should redistribute the following library with
your application:
vmdsapi.dll
This file refers to the 'C:\Program Files\Ascential\DataStage7.5.1\vmdsapiENU.dll" right?
Also, we run server on Unix and clients on windows.

Not necessarily. For example it might be vmdsapiJPN.dll if you're redistributing in Japan.

Hi,
If I redistribute in English speaking countries, vmdsapiENU.dll will do, right?
Also, do I just need to place the dlls (DSCLNT32.DLL, dsrpc32.dll and vmdsapi.dll) in the same directory as the compiled executable? I suspect I'm not putting them in the right place as I'm getting the following linking error:
1>DataStageLib.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "extern "C" int __cdecl DSGetLastError(void)" (?DSGetLastError@@$$J0YAHXZ)
1>\\rchfil100\users$\kevxu\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\DataStage Lib\Debug\DataStageLib.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
I'm using Visual Studio C++ Express.

Hi,
Anyone one else ever came across this link error before?

No, never had a need to play this game.
I'd suspect, based on your 'unresolved externals' error, that it's not about putting them in the right place, but about having the right runtime libraries.

I thought those datastage api functions are supposed to be DLL imported so the compiler shouldn't be trying to link those functions.
Did anyone get this to work, ever?
