Resolving The Problem

1. Please verify that your compiler and link options are set correctly in Administrator client:

APT_COMPILEOPT=/D APT_USE_ANSI_IOSTREAMS /D _WIN32 /D _MBCS /nologo /W3
/WX- /Gm- /EHa /MD /GS- /fp:precise
/Zc:wchar_t- /Zc:forScope /Gd /TP /Zi /Oy-/c
APT_COMPILER=cl
APT_LINKER=link
APT_LINKOPT=/INCREMENTAL:NO /NOLOGO /DLL /DEBUG /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE
/DYNAMICBASE:NO /MACHINE:X86

2. What version of Visual Studio are you using on this server?

The DataStage C++ compiler requirements for IS 9.1 on Windows are
documented in this link:

http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27036191

3. Ensure that the system environment variables, LIB, INCLUDE, and PATH have the
Visual Studio paths set
