Cannot edit any stages within a Job Sequence

jmperezrus · Post by **jmperezrus** » Tue May 30, 2006 7:40 am

Hi everyone,

When I double click on any stage contained in a Job sequence, nothing happens. Neither it does if I select "Properties" on the right-click menu.

However, everything was OK some days ago. It's even OK if I use another PC, what makes me believe that it has to do with some file that has become corrupted in my local installation.

Any suggestions before re-installing datastage?

Cheers!

Try to free some of your RAM. Remove unwanted stuff from the system tray. Take a look at the DPI settings of your monitor and then see what happens

Hi,

Thx for your reply.

I have tried what you suggest but nothing happens.

I don't think this is the problem because I have more RAM than other PCs and I do not have any other programs running...

The monitor DPI settings are "Normal", so I guess this is not the issue either...

Any chance Windows Service Pack 2 was just installed on your pc? There is a patch available for that, if so.

First, though, I'd simply try reinstalling the client. It's painless and will fix any odd registration or ddl problems that may have cropped up.

Thanks chulett,

I have been investigating and I have come to the conclusion that it has to do with Service Pack 2....

I know that everything would be ok if I just re-installed, but I like getting to the bottom of things :) Plus, it can get a bit annoying having to reinstall from time to time, so could you please let me know where I can get that patch you mention?

Best regards

It is available from the eServices web site. If you search the forum you will find a direct link to it.

Hi again,

I can't find the link on eServices... Can anybody tell me the ECASE ID or the link itself?

Cheers

I think any direct link on the site here may have been invalidated by IBM's recent revamp of that site. Heck, I'm not even sure I can log in there right now. Probably should contact Support and ask them directly.

Hi
In my view there is some problem with .NET Framework, kindly reinstall the .Net Frame work. When you try to install a DS client , first it will check for the available .Net Framework or it will install it.
Can you specify me your OS Environment and what version of Datastage you are using.

Thanks
RK

Hi jmperezrus,

If you are running client on Widoze-XP, you need to install Patch - II which is available on Devepoler Net.
This patch - II is for specifically for DataStage Sequencer jobs.

Re-start your machine after installation, then you wil bw able to open Sequencer stages.

Goodluck

Actually, the patch we have been discussing for Service Pack 2 is the one that corrects the inability to open certain stages in a Sequence job. The patch you are probably refering to is one that prevents Designer crashes when working with Sequence jobs.

Both are good to have.
