I guess your DataStage license is botched. Try reentering it via DataStage administrator.

Ogmios - I tried going through Administrator. It did not show me any existing projects even thought I already created one.

Tried to create a new project. After going through the process of copying all files, tried to connect to teh new project but gave the same message as the date is unrecognisable.

I already reinstalled it twice.

Any other solution??? Thank you.

I guess this is going to be a ticket at Ascential.

One other thing may be to play around with the regional settings.., try setting them to uk/english.

That did not work either.

Do u think this has to do something with system date?

Thanks !!

When you install the DataStage server you are prompted for an expiry date, it looks like the internal storage of this date has been corrupted and the corrupted date is being transferred to any new projects. Use the "Change" button on the General tab of your Administrator and reenter your expiration date.
