Actually, sometimes the obvious bites you on the butt!!! After spending countless hours and not sleeping for three days, I took a wild stab and change the prune setting on the log files to 1 day. Then, I cleaned the log files ... Started my cycles ... Run Times for my environments went from 30 - 40 ...

We have approximately 80 jobs that all run sequentially ... All of the jobs were being checkpointed ... We removed 80% of th...

Unfortunately. no improvement ...

Fair enough ... We have been monitoring through Director ... It is unfortunate that we cannot repeat the same "lag" between jobs / job sequences. For example, the Master Job Sequence will start, then a minute later the first job in the Sequence will start. It will run for 10 seconds, then ...

We are running fiber channel to our SAN ... We have been monitoring activity on the network and the SAN. There are no spikes in either when this inconsistency occurs. It's not a bandwidth issue. We are 2 GIG-E fiber ... That's not the problem ... And the network has limited sharing. We have noticed ...

The first run completed in 12 minutes (overall data processed 200 MB). The second run in 12 minutes. T...

Dealing With Special Characters ...

I'm running into a strange issue ... I'm running Datastage Server v8, DB2 9.5 on SUSE Linux. Here's the deal: I have a person's name that contains the O with two dots on top (sorry don't know the name of that character). I can insert the name with no issue. I can substring out the first character in...
