Datastage TX 7.5.0 Card Editing

[manniej]

Hi. I'm new to this forums and hoping that somebody can help me in my problem with using Datastage TX 7.5. When I do change input file setting and save, the setting is not really being saved. I rebuild, save and reran the map but the input source file is still the previous file. Is there something on this application that I need to setup? Thanks for any help.

A few files are created when you build a map; .mmc, .mopt, .bak, etc.

Delete everything except the mms and rebuild again.

Thanks for the respond but I found the answer to my problem. I'm quite new in using version 7.5 so I'm used to just single click the map name in order to edit the cards. The trick really is to double click the map name during edit and make sure all input and output cards are visible in the designer.

I've seen this happen before. Not sure if it's the map tool or the machine. Try closing the map, clean up all of the extranious files. reopen the map, point to the input file and press enter, save and reopen the input card to make sure it's still pointing to the new file then compile. After you compile lok for file map_name.mme and make sure it is size '0'. If not there was a problem with your build.
