Not able to openup Job Activity Property

oacvb · Post by **oacvb** » Wed Jan 18, 2006 11:01 pm

Hi,

I have datastage 7.1, i created 3 jobs all are working fine. I created one sequencer to call all these 3 jobs. So i added Job Activities in the sequencer but not able to do openup the properties by either double click on Job Activity Stage or by selection "Properties" Option by right clicking the Job Activity Stage. Please help me on this. I am able to open up the properties of other stages (Sequencer, Nested Condition, Wait for File Activity etc.,) except Job Activity and Routine Activitiy. Please help me in resolving this.

Initially i installed 7.1 & 7.5 at my pc, now i uninstalled both and installed 7.1 and restarted the pc.

Regards,
O.A.C.

Are you running on Windows XP? If so, you may need to reinstall the XP patch that corrects this behaviour, given that you've reinstalled DataStage from its original media (without the patch).

Hi,

Yes, it is running on Windows XP. Can you please let us know what is the patch we need to install it and from which place we can get this patch? Is it freely downloadable from Internet? If so, please provide the site details. Thanks in advance for your help.

Actually, there are no official downloads on ADN, only a pretty much all user supplied File Library.

To get the patch you need to go to Ascential's EServices website:

http://www.ascentialsoftware.com/eservice/index.jsp

As long as you are registered you can log on and go to the Downloads section there where several patches are available. You are looking for the Service Pack 2 or XP SP2 patch for the client.

We installed the patch yesterday on all of our 25 or so PCs running XP Service Pack 2. Everything seems to workin correctly. I'm able to access the job properties now.

Thanks
Jason

You have 25 DataStage developers?

That's not many for India.

(I've made an assumption based on jatayl's nick, but I think it might hold. One of my clients in India has about 75 developers, another 40.)

Hi All,

Thanks for your help. I got the patch from Ascential EService.

Hi

I use Datastage 7.0 and I have the same problem. But I can't find the website to download the patch file. Would you kindly tell me where to get the path, thanks .

The link in my old post is still good although it will take you to the IBM version of the site now... and you'll need a new logon there. Once you have one, it's easy enough to find the patch that you need.
