Datastage Project Size

Post by m_mani87 »

Hi,

What is the size of the datastage project. While creating a new project it doesnt ask for any size. But i see when i try to import into a project which already have 1000s of jobs its not happening.

So is there any size limit and is there any ways to change it while creating or later?

There's no size limit on a project. An empty project is quite small.

There's a limit on the space (disk space), and there may (depending on the operating system) be a limit on the number of sub-directories in a directory.

One of these is probably the culprit in your case.

If the project you are importing to has repository damage, it could also cause the import to fail.

I'd suggest two things...
1) Run syncproject with the -Report option to insure the project integrity is good. If it has problems, -Fix it after it is backed up. Note: nobody can be using the project while you do either of those operations.
2) Post the exact error message from your import here, we might be able to give further guidance at that point.

That or tell us what "not happening" means in greater detail.

Also understand that if your export is in XML format that you'll need to WAIT for the importer to first convert the entire thing to a dsx before it can perform the import. Unless that's no longer the case?

The import gets struck or the datastage client goes to not responding state.
No error is thrown
