Bulk configure ODBC data sources and credentials for jobs

Currently, when creating a job, the ODBC data sources and credentials in the "ODBC Data Source" field must be configured individually, which is time-consuming. We would like the ability to select multiple data sources and configure them in bulk (o...

use IDAA Loader to create a backup of a very large un-partitioned AOT, alternately allow AOTs to be partitioned

We have a very large table of data which we would like to take off of DB2. We have created an AOT and loaded it from DB2, but we have not been able to create a backup of the AOT. Without a backup we can not remove the table from DB2. This was repo...
