DSXchange

Hi, I'm having a lot of trouble trying to import some text file definitions to Datastage Manager. When I try to import any file the following message appears:

DSR.MetaGeta(GET.SEQ.SAMPLE): OPENSEQ of /projectds/Operator/files//File_Special.txt took ELSE clause, STATUS()=0

I'm connecting via VPN to another server which has those files, I'm using DS 7.5.1.A. I can see the root though but I cannot import the definition.

Any help will be appreciated,

There is an extraneous "/" in the pathname. Getting rid of it will probably fix the problem. DataStage does not resolve "//" in pathnames.

Thanks for the answer, I'm still getting the same message without the "/" that was before, like this:

DSR.MetaGeta(GET.SEQ.SAMPLE): OPENSEQ of /projectds/Operator/files/File_Special.txt took ELSE clause, STATUS()=0

Please advice, thanks!!!

Taking the ELSE clause with Status() returning 0 indicates that the file is opened for writing, but does not exist. Check that /projectds/Operator/files/File_Special.txt exists, that components in the path are correctly spelled and cased, and that the executing user has sufficient rights to access these directories and the file.

Got it, actually somebody yesterday was updating the file. I don't know if it's related but that file was created in 1.5.2 and when trying to accesing it with 1.5.1.A it fails.

I made the test with 1.5.2 and it worked fine.

Thanks!!!
