- Whenever I leave the match designer by clicking OK the changes are saved OK, but DataStage Designer immediately stops working. I have to close it and open a new one (after waiting for a period for the lock on any job that I had open in the lost session to be released.
When I do a partial save from configuring the match designer environment (one or more check boxes cleared) all is well. But if I try to update all fields it hangs forever and the session has to be terminated. This is tedious, to say the least.
In the Reference Match stage a small number of columns (sometimes as few as one) that appear on the Input tab are not available on the input side of the Mapping tab on the Output tab. This means that they can't be mapped and therefore that the job cannot be compiled.
For some reason that they have not vouchsafed to me the client does not want to apply any fix packs or (at least not now) upgrade.
