Can anyone please offer suggestions for implementing the following as an IA data rule, ideally without creating view in source databases? The requirement is that the total of a customer's account balances (which are possibly stored in the same or different tables) must not exceed a threshold read fr...

We are in that part of the Information Server installation process where we're configuring an LDAP-accessible user registry. WAS is still running a root, and we can access browser-based services. We have made appropriate changes to Global Security in WAS, and now want to stop the server to run AppSe...

Our topology has WAS on a separate machine from the engine tier machines. We've now sourced additional hardware and would like to make some changes to exploit the same. 1. Is it possible to move WAS to a different machine and, if so, what is involved in terms of (for example) updating entries in the...

What do the Group and Derivation columns do on the Columns grid of the output link of a Sort stage in a server job?

The documentation is singularly unhelpful.

Thank you for your time.

That's really excellent! Many thanks.

Is anyone able to answer this question?

I guess we'll have to involve official support.

Re-opened this topic. We're getting really close to installing now. Our DBAs have set up the Oracle RAC, and the entry in tnsnames.ora has four nodes mentioned. The Planning, Installation and Configuration Guide for Information Server isn't very helpful at this point. All it says is "To install...

We're well into the planning phase for our installation. "They" are reluctant to allow us to log in as root, and suggest that installation could be done using sudo. My research indicates that this is permissible. However, I have not been able to find a list of the commands for which sudo r...

Thank you for your responses. We are planning to install 11.3.1. The manual indicates that the operations database, standardization rules designer database and exceptions database can be installed as schemas in XMETA, then goes on to recommend against this at least for production. But they can be in...

That was awesomely fast!

Many thanks, as always.

Can anyone provide a link to documentation about how to install the repository tier for Information Server version 11.3.1 on an Oracle RAC ?

All the IBM Knowledge Center links direct you to 11.3.0 documentation, in which the only option is DB2.

Is this some nefarious IBM marketing ploy?

Many thanks for that reply. We have not yet downloaded the 11.3 software. Being still in the planning phase we are trying to work out from the manuals and Knowledge Center how things are to be done in the new version. One supplementary question if I may. Is there still a Manage Lineage step (as in v...

We have begun planning our upgrade from version 8.7 to version 11.3. We note that Metadata Workbench and Business Glossary have been subsumed into Information Governance but are unable to determine from the online tools (Knowledge Center and 11.3 manuals) what the equivalent processes are for the fo...

Date of birth can be calculated from AGE, if and only if AGE is given in days and time of birth is known.

Lineage analysis animation in version 8.7 uses Adobe Flash Player. Is this still true in versions 9.1 and 11.3? (We're planning our next upgrade, and this question came up - apparently there's some resistance to Flash within the company.) If it is still flash, would anyone like to offer an opinion a...
