Datastage vs. SSIS - IMHO

I like to chime in on this since I believe that the cost savings is not only the ETL tools SSIS vs Datastage. If you have SSIS you now have an enterprise level database that supports partitioned tables as well as mirroring (SQL SERVER). You can save the expense on Oracle and it's licenses which are ...

Just peachy!

Only way to "turn them off" is to ensure they don't occur. Looks like you have an "empty" field that is being moved into a Long datatype and it doesn't like that. Can you check for and transform that to something else before the Sort stage, like to a NULL or a Zero perhaps? If t...

Sort stage Warnings

Any way to turn warnings off from a sort stage into a transform?

Code: Select all

Sort_10: At row 1, link "DSLink24", while processing column "FUBAR"
Value treated as NULL
Attempt to convert String value "" to Long type unsuccessful


Thanks,

Re: Sql Server & ODBC LInked Server Column definitions

Why not create a view on the SQL Server database that does the query to the linked table. Once you have imported the metadata you can drop the view and use the fully qualified (4 part name) in the ODBC generated SQL. Better yet leave the view and use it for the ETL. If I was allowed to create it my...

So I want to move the data in a xml file to a flat file. Does it have to go to a odbc or database stage...
