Can people please add to my list of things that need to be cleaned up periodically?

• files on scratch disk older than, say, seven days
  Data Sets that are no longer required
  files in &PH& subdirectory in each project
  IMAM import areas that are no longer needed

Thank you for your time.

Thank you for those responses, they will be very useful.

I believe that I was the only one asked to undertake this task (I am the most senior practitioner in the team).

Thank you again for your time.

My management (we're a bank) has asked me to put together a document called "BAU Activities and Processes to Support InfoSphere Information Server". I have some ideas, but would like to pick your brains. My initial list of headings is: Backups and Archiving Cleaning Up Periodically Monitor...

One of my colleagues is planning installation of Information Server in another project, and has asked a question about the engine credentialled user.

Does this user ID have to be able to login, or will a no-login user suffice?

We are about to embark on a project using IBM Identity Insight. This requires input in UMF format.

We think that DataStage is probably a suitable tool for converting from XML to UMF. Has anyone already done this? If so can you please share your techniques?

Does the DataStage 11.7.1 Amazon S3 Connector stage successfully read files that are stored in encrypted S3 buckets (that is, the encryption is at the bucket level)?

Thank you for your time.

Can DataStage write HTML files? The source can be any row/column format, such as CSV file. The structure of the HTML is specified in CSS stylesheets. Other than adding the HTML tags manually, is there any way in DataStage to make use of the information in the style sheets to generate appropriate HTM...

We are using Information Analyzer version 11.7, and have checked the Save Scripts button before running a Column Analysis. However, unlike previous versions, no logs are visible in DataStage Director in the ANALYZERPROJECT project. Has this changed in version 11.7? Officially? Thank you for your time.

We're using version 11.7 Information Analyzer (the console, not the thin client). We can't find where to add database credentials so that column analyses can be performed.

Can anyone please advise?

Thank you for your time.

Many thanks to everyone who worked on solving this, and over the weekend too! I have tried what was suggested, and am happy to report success.

Thank you for your time.

Is it possible for versions 8.5 and 11.5.0.1 to co-exist on the one client machine? When trying to install 11.5, we are getting errors relating to the existing MKS Toolkit. We will, of course, involve support, but were just wondering whether anyone has this combination working. Thank you for your ti...

On our old system we have a job that passes some rows into a parallel Shared Container and relies on RCP to pass others in. Within the Shared Container various processing occurs, and every stage in the stream between Input and Output has RCP enabled on its output link. Outside the Shared Container, ...
