Hello,

We are upgrading Maps from WTX 8.3 to ITX9.0.0.2.

Seems like using relative paths in DB adapters no issues, but we encountered some issues for Email adapters.

Do we need to setup WTX_CHDIR to retain the relative paths in WTX 8.3 maps?

When WTX_CHDIR was introduced (from which version)?

I believe that the DTX_CHDIR or WTX_CHDIR variables were introduced in ITX 9.0.0.0:

....but it is recommended not to use it.:

NOTE: It is strongly recommended not to use WTX_CHDIR variable.
Instead, fix your map to always reference full path. In order to
build full path, use WTX GETDIRECTORY() function.

Thank you.

Hi Paul,

So if we want to use, which one to choose, DTX_CHDIR or WTX_CHDIR?

How can we verify it's working or not? From system logs?

As D is for Datastage (the name under the Ascential company) and W is for WebSphere (the former name under IBM) I would choose W, as it is more recent.

I do not know how to check it is working.  I guess if all your traces defined with relative paths are in the correct place, it's working.

Thank you.
