DataStage Window/Canvas resize

Post by imfarhan »

Hi All,
May be a stupid question.

I normally open three windows when I worked on Datastage/Infosphere i.e.
Repository(Top-Left), Palette(Bottom-Left) and Canvas (Right) on my screen.
But when I open another job the canvas hide behind Repository /Palete so I've had to manually resize the canvas window.

Is there anyway we can resize all three windows and set the default settings. so I don't need to resize again.

Many thanks
Farhan

Designer should "remember" (in HKEY_CURRENT_USER) the settings when you exit cleanly.

Thanks for your reply.
I'm sure there should be some default setting you setup.... as I don't want to go to regedit; Although I look into that but I can't see any setting apart from list of recent jobs which I open on my Datastage....

Regards

There is no "default" you can set anywhere and yes, what controls all those window positions is stored in the registry. All that's supposed to happen is it remembers what state things were in when you exited and then should try to put you back there on the next launch.

If that's not happening for you, it would probably be worthwhile for you to open a case with your official support provider to find out what might be going on...
