DSXchange

Hello All,

Sorry for my english

I have an issue with oracle stage in ds server 7.5 and it was ok with ds server 7.1.

Can somenone help me, i want to upgrade ds 7.5 to ds 7.5.1.a. Someone can explain me what i need and what's the process for install.

Thanks

The Oracle stage is known to work... not work... work... not work ... on and off since version 4.

Best is also to log a case with Ascential/IBM... sometimes they have workarounds/patches available.

For the upgrade if you really want to go ahead:
- DataStage always has an installation guide.
- Going from v7.5 to v7.5.1.a should be very easy.

Make an export for all your projects, try upgrade in place, if that doesn't work, de-install and then install and re-import.

can someone provide me this patch ?

There's no patch needed. As noted, make good backups and then simply install 7.5.1a right over the top of 7.5. Easy as pie.

Ok thanks,

I understand that is not just a patch but a complete neuw installation.

thanks guys.

I suggested to first check with Ascential/IBM for a patch. For some things they have patches and doing an upgrade from 7.5 to 7.5.1.a seems a bit overkill.

Don't know whether a patch really exists. Most of my installations are currently 7.5.1.a and the Oracle stage seems to work correctly in there.

Actually, there are quite a boat-load of fixes between 7.5 and 7.5.1a... the former was quite buggy, apparently.

I believe there is a patch for a particular issue with the OCI stage and the stoopid 'SQL Builder Tool' but you can check into stuff like that post-upgrade.

Good to see you back, Ogmios. You've been.... gone... for awhile it seems.

Other environments ... but from time to time we get back to good old DataStage :D
