I am not sure if it's the same problem as we saw with UNIX, but on UNIX, we have had problems accessing linked drives. Mapping drives follows the same concept, so you probably have the same problem.JDionne wrote:On my ds server I have maped a few drives...but when I am in designer I cant see them....any reason why?

What do you mean "see"? I have written to mapped drives with DataStage in UNIX. I have not tried to see them in the Designer when it asks for a filename. I woild imagine there are a couple things keeping you from using these drives or filesystems. First the drives where not enabled when DataStage started. Second the drives are not available to phantoms. DataStage processes run as phantoms in the background. This means all the drives need to be global to all users.
I tried Windows and your right I could not use a shared drive.

It is a known issue with DataStage and should be addressed with Version 7.0.JDionne wrote:ok i concure......how did you fix it?Teej wrote:I am not sure if it's the same problem as we saw with UNIX, but on UNIX, we have had problems accessing linked drives.
