DSXchange

Hi,

Error obtained when a job is been ran in datastage designer.
steps:
1. I created database in sql server box (which is also hosting Datastage Server).
2. Designed the job to transfer data to another table using transformer.
3. Created DSN in the client box to connect to server box (For SQL Server).
4. Changed the properties in the Job Properties section with parameter values included to connect to SQL Server.
5. Ran the transformer and the following error is thrown.

dsr.metageta(get.dsninfo)(sqlconnect('#TargetConnection#','#T...
BCI Error:
SQLSTATE=IM002,Code=0,[datastage][sql client][odbc][Microsoft][..
Data source name not found and no default driver specified

Can anyone suggest me what might be the problem.

Anto,
The DSN should be created on the server machine.
Create a system DSN on the server machine and the job should run fine.

Regards,
Dhiraj

Hi
This occurs when the dsn is not set properly.

Did you create dsn in the server where datastage server is present?

If you see "#" characters in that style of error message it means that a job parameter of that name has not been found/resolved in the job. This probably means that it has been:
- omitted
- mis-spelled
- mis-cased

You must make sure that any job parameter reference in the job design - no matter where it occurs - exactly matches the job parameter name in the job properties.
