can only agree with the 'dont just forklift' the database comments - to be honest it probably will work if you dont spend much time tuning - but will be wasting a lot of expensive clock cycles. Have been through a db2 ---> teradata migation a few years back (~3000 jobs) and a few points bar the fork...

I believe this is down to assess of the sync table (presuming syncronisation is on in the connector stage) My understanding is there is a table (specified by TPT_TERASYNC env variable) which is used by datastage to co-ordainate and check point Teradata connector processes. As teradata queues access ...

I havent got Datastage infront of me at the moment - but another approach would be to use parameters to specify the names of the rpt files You can use an activity variable stage in a sequencer to pass in the name of the file (or even just an extention) based on a timestamp As I say I havent got data...

Hullo, I suspect the final error (3807) is down to the previous error concerning the error tables 03:56:17 UTY1008 RDBMS failure: 3807, Object 'EDW_STAGE.STATUS_S_WE411_ET' does not exist. Basically when the multiload starts it attempts to drop any error tables first, though these will only get left...
