Hi,

I have accidentally deleted default configuration file, can some body please help me how to generate/create the default configuration file..

Thanks in advance

Welcome aboard. :D

The default configuration file consists of two nodes, which you can call Node0 and Node1 (or anything else you like).
The fastname is the name of the machine where DataStage is installed.
Each node is only in the default node pool only.
Each has one (the same) disk and scratch disk resource, being the pathname of the appropriately named folder within the DataStage Engine directory (e.g. /usr/Ascential/DataStage/DSEngine/Scratch for the scratch disk resource).

The default configuration file should be called default (from the configuration editor) or default.apt (from vi). It is stored as default.apt but the configuration editor adds the suffix for you.

Thanks Ray, could some one please post the default configuration file ,
so i cam modify and use it..
and what is pool ...

Thanks,

Please read the chapter on Configuration Files in the Manager guide. This will aid your understanding, and give you examples.

I do not have access to DataStage until mid-May, so am unable to post any examples. Maybe someone else will post the default.apt file from a UNIX installation.

$ more default.apt
/* default - Default Configuration file


This Configuration file has 1 processing node
on DataStage Server psaeux002,(devtest_node1)
and DB2 Server psadux001 (psadux001).

*/
{
node "devtest_node1"
{
fastname "psaeux002"
pools ""
resource disk "/worknode1/datasets/" {pools ""}
resource disk "/worknode2/datasets/" {pools ""}
resource disk "/worknode3/datasets/" {pools ""}
resource disk "/worknode4/datasets/" {pools ""}
resource scratchdisk "/worknode1/scratch" {pools ""}
resource scratchdisk "/worknode2/scratch" {pools ""}
resource scratchdisk "/worknode3/scratch" {pools ""}
resource scratchdisk "/worknode4/scratch" {pools ""}
}
node "psadux001"
{
fastname "psadux001"
pools "DB2"
resource disk "/worknode/datasets" {pools ""}
resource scratchdisk "/worknode/scratch" {pools ""}
}
}

That's not a good example of a default configuration file, since not all nodes are in the default node pool. Also, in the default configuration file, the disk and scratch disk resources are subdirectories in the DS Engine directory. (And it is undocumented.)

Based on that, however:
