Hi had a similar issue when trying to call the Microsoft Dynamics 365 API on DS 11.3 fp1 recently... Microsoft disabled support for TLS1, which is perfectly understandable! I did not need to apply a patch, we just upgraded the JDK and added the following line to the Hierarchical Stage properties: -D...

Are your decimal columns nullable in both of the Input links of your Join Stage ? If you have defined your decimal columns as non-nullable in DataStage, I think it will default the NULLs to 0 ? Also, you may prefer to use the NullToEmpty() function instead of the If IsNull() Then '' .. Else ... synt...

You indeed need an output link with the Lookup Stage.

But what I would do if I only cared about the Rejected data:

After the output link of the Lookup Stage, just add a Copy Stage and nothing else.
It should give you the result you're after.

Salut Franck, Where do you store the date you've retrieved from job 1 ? Try the following (there are other approaches, but I find this one to be the easiest to get right) - In job 1, write your date into a flat file, eg. param.txt Now your Job sequence should look like this: Job 1 ---> Execute Comma...

I haven't read between the lines, so this might not be what you have asked for, but anyway.. An option could be to have a "Wait for file Activity" Stage just before your 'End Loop' stage: - Filename: /ds_project/file_does_not_exist.txt - Wait for file to appear for 15 minutes (will never h...

Job Sequence checkpoints - When are they lost ?

Hi, Let's say that: - I stop a running but restartable Job Sequence (checkpoints enabled for each of its step) from the Director client. - Then shut down the Engine server. - Then shut down the Unix machine - After a few hours, I restart the Unix server and the Engine server ....
