Add search capability for stages on the designer canvas

If you have very large sequences, it can get difficult to find the job that you need to change as you need to scroll through the whole sequence. It would be very handy to be able to search on the designer canvas based on different criteria (stage ...

Re-Start DataStage job (or sequence) with identical parameter settings

It would be a huge benefit to get an simple option to start a job or sequence with the identical parameter settings of the last run. Having Jobs with many parameters and parameter sets this takes time to do it manually and the parameters have to b...

ability to log warnings having a connector with rejects link

Currently having a connector with a reject link one can only choose to Abort or ignore rejects. I need the option (out of the box) to log warnings. Rejects should be captured - that is why I like a rejects link. Sometimes I do not want to abort...

Move fields in a UVA/variable activity

I want to able to move a field/variable in a UVA activity inside a DataStage sequence. Currently you can not change the position of a field in a UVA activity. Especially if you have aleady defined 20 Fields and want to add another one on positi...

Add a link ordering option to DataStage Sequence Activities

In several DataStage stages there is a link ordering option (e.g. Transformer or Join Stage), this is not the case for DataStage Sequence Activities. If a sequence has multiple output links, then the order of these can only be changed by deattachi...

Enable copying of links in the Designer

Currently links can not be copied standalone, you can copy a stage/activity and delete the stage and all links you don't want to achieve the result. Especially for Stages where you have no Mapping folder (i.e. Shared Container, Modify Stage) to ge...

Enable dynamic selection of Parameterset Valuefiles in Sequences

I want to have the possibility to dynamically choose which Valuefile of a Parameterset i use when starting a Job/Sequence inside a Sequence. Currently you can only Propagate the Valuefile choosen when starting the Calling Sequence or choose a fixe...

Enable the setting of non key partitioning of a link on the canvas via right click

Currently when Setting the partitioning of a link you have to go inside a stage to the Input and Partitioning Tab, which e.g. in case of the transformer or lookup stages takes 4 clicks to get there (the shortcut via right click on the stage and se...

Enable "Data flow cycle" in Parallel Jobs

Currently "Data flow cycle" are not allowed in DataStage PX as described in the error message IIS-DSEE-TFSR-00035. This maybe is correct for most cases to prevent wrong design, but it would be very usefull when working with parent-child hierarchie...

Be able to add or remove stages on a link in DataStage Designer

Currently when you want to add a new stage on an existing link, you have to deconnect the link from one of its stage, add the new stage and create a new link from that stage (remapping the Input columns to the Output, which is currently not possib...
