In my case, the primary input of the Lookup stage had two range key columns. One range call was RANGE(lkp.A, "<", lkp.B, ">", 0), and the other was RANGE(lkp.C, "<", lkp.B, ">", 0). I duplicated column lkp.B, creating column lkp.Btoo, then change the second ra...

I moved from 7.5.3 to 9.1, both on Windows. Now, I am running into issue using the new xml stage when creating large xml documents (e.g. feed to Amazon). Support tells me this stage runs on 32 bit java on Windows, but 64 bit java on Unix. This is just one example. There are enough differences betwee...

Less than and greater than signs in xml data

I am trying to pass xml tags as data via an XML Output stage. However, less than symbols are being converted to < and greater than symbols are being converted to >.

Is there any way of escaping them?

I have tried <<, >>, \<, and \>.

(It is fixtool.exe on NT.) It has the following options: fixtool -file filename [-level n] [-fix] [-fil...

Doesn't DSPrepareJob() return a status value? The code example is resetting the job handle which means the subsequent use of it will be invalid.

Using a transformer stage as input to an xml input stage, create an input column whose derivation is the URL of the RSS feed. In the xml input stage on the input tab, select the URL/File Path radio button.
