DSXchange

Hello friends,

We have multiple projects, on one of our Dev boxes, accessing the MQSeries plug-in. When I created a new project on the same box, we are not able to access the MQSeries. Moreover, I could not see the MQSeries Stage type in the Palette.

We are getting the following errors when we tried to import jobs from another project (on the same box) which contain MQSeries Stage in them:

Stage Type Object 'MQSeries' not found
Record MQSeries in file DS_STAGETYPES does not exist

Am I doing anything wrong? Am I supposed to configure something else in the new project inorder to use the MQSeries Stage type?

Any help would be highly appreciated

Thanks a lot in advance

P.S I created the new project from DataStage Administrator logging as 'dsadm'

The MQSeries feature is a plugin. It was probably not installed when you intially installed DataStage Server, therefore not in the "template" project that is used when a new project is created.

You'll need to install the MQSeries plugin again for this new project, then reimport your jobs.

I believe there is a thread somewhere here that explains how to include newly installed plugins in the "template" project.

Whomever installed the plug-in in the projects where it does work didn't do it correctly.

You need to find your Server installation media and rerun the install. It will default to 'Maintenance Mode' and allow you to install new plug-ins. This way it not only gets into all existing projects but also gets added to the 'Template' project so that new projects created later will also contain the correct plug-ins.

Thanks a lot guys

Hi Craig,

Is there a way to install the plug-in without going to 'Maintenance Mode'?
i.e to install the plug-in so that the newly created project can use it

Thank you
Yamini

Yes, but that's what got you into trouble in the first place.

Oops... you are right. I will try to install in the 'Maintenance Mode'

Thanks
Yamini

Hi Craig,

I followed the installation steps mentioned in the documentation and did not find 'MQ Plug-in' under 'plug-ins' directory. Does MQ Plug-in comes as part of DataStage (on the same CD) or do we have to buy it separately from Ascential?

Thank you
Yamini

Hi Yamini,
You have to buy MQ Plug-in separately from Ascential.

Hello friends,

I found out that we do have a MQ Plug-in CD. My question is how can I switch to 'Maintenance Mode' to install the plug-in so that the it goes to the project Template?

Thanks a lot in advance

Old post ... For records...

If you already have MQ stage in your box and other projects are using then you missed to register this stage. You can do it from Manager -
Tools --> Register Plug-in -- >
Path:
/datastage/Ascential/DataStage/DSEngine/lib/mqsenu.so
Category
Of your preference
(If Px click Parallel stage option)
Now in Designer, from customize palette chose the plug-in from the above category to current palette

An old post, but actual for us now.
We have the same problem. I can register the plug-in just like JoshGeorge describe and fix the problem in the project using the plug-in.

How can I add the (apparently already installed) plug-in to the template project?
