How to enable menu bar after it has been closed in designer
How do you enable the menu bar on the datastage designer client after it has been closed accidently?
I'm not really sure what you mean by the 'menu bar' but there are things that can disappear from the Designer that can be tricky to get back.
Sometimes you can go into the Registry Editor and get things back that way, but I've generally found the easiest way is to simply reinstall the client. Missing stuff should come back.

It was worth a shot.
I generally hesitate to tell people to edit the registry as many are not comfortable doing so, but glad it worked out for you. Don't forget to check any of your customizations as they more than likely got 'reset' as well.

Re: How to enable menu bar after it has been closed in desig
I've this same issue. I don't have access to regedit. Is there any other solution? OR does anyone know if there are shortcut keys to all menu items.seell wrote:How do you enable the menu bar on the datastage designer client after it has been closed accidently?
Thanks
There are short-cut keys to the menus themselves. Alt activates the menu and then:
File
View
Tools
Help
--
Edit
Diagram
Debug
Window
The only actual shortcuts to menu items I see are:
Ctrl-N: New job
Ctrl-O: Open job
Ctrl-S: Save
Ctrl-A: Save As
Most else requires access to the menus, I do believe, other than some of the F-Keys which do I forget what.

As Craig notes there are shortcut keys to all menu items, and shortcut keys only to some items of functionality.
If you don't have access to regedt32 I suggest you find someone who does.
