I installed Datastage Server as follows:

1)Environment: Windows XP SP2
2)MS Visual C++ Express Edition
3)Datastage Information Server with DB2 as the repository

I cannot compile parallel jobs. I looked at some of the posts here and added (do I need to replace?) the lines for LIB and INCLUDE. I also copied the uuid.lib file from some site on the internet to the proper directory. Datastage complains that it is not a valid file.

My question is, Do I need to install things in this sequence?
1)Windows 2003 Server SP1 or SP2 as the OS
2)Internet Information Server
3)MS Visual Studio.NET (2003 or 2005) Enterprise Edition
4)Information Server

How do I get rid of the following error? I get the same error as this post:

Thanks to anyone who responds.

well for starters perhaps you should try not using the Express Edition of C++ Compiler?

Then which compiler should I install?

Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 will work.

The documentation will list the supported compilers. "Supported" as in "work with the product".

Btw are you trying to install both the server and client on windows.?

Just the server. The client gets installed by deafult.

ok something different...anyways.

Can anyone tell me exactly what is required for a successful installation of Datastage 8.0.1 in a Windows environment? That is, what software and in what sequence? Thanks.

I tried to set the followiing parameters for the project:

APT_COMPILEOPT -W/TP -W/EHa -DAPT_USE_ANSI_IOSTREAMS -c
APT_COMPILE C:\PROGRA~1\MI9547~1\Bin\
APT_LINKER C:\PROGRA~1\MI9547~1\Bin\
APT_LINKOPT -s -W/dll -W/base:0x50000000

It complains about:
-W/EHa -DAPT_USE_ANSI_IOSTREAMS -c

When I remove all of it, I get the following error message:

##E IIS-DSEE-TFOP-00020 17:33:21(008) <transform> Error occurred during initializeFromArgs().
