Post by admin »

Hi all,
do you know the meaning of some files named capturexxx created from DataStage in the UVtemp directory? Why and when DataStage creates them?
Thanks everybody

Buonasera Patrizia,

The DataStage engine (UniVerse) will produce various files
in the UVTEMP directory (by default /tmp).
capturexxx is typically created when the EXECUTE Basic statement is performed. Given that you are using DataStage, it is very likely that you are using this statement either directly or indirectly, via the DSExecute() function/subroutine or even DSExec???

The capture file is created when the the EXECUTE statement
is performed using the CAPTURING option.

eg: EXECUTE cmd CAPTURING output RETURNING retcode

Hope this helps,

Regards,
Anthony Corrente.
