Why do you think there's an error? One possibility is that there are no rows in the Data Set. More likely, though, is that you are trying to read the Data Set with a configuration file that is incompatible with the one with which the Data Set was written. Can you access the Data Set with the Data Se...

What you posted is not the licensing score, as yours has a Transformer stage mentioned.

DSDexter's analysis is correct. The score is an optimized variant of the osh that was generated by compiling the job design.

Orchestrate (via orchdbutil) is usually to be preferred, as it is more accurate.

Can you execute the same SELECT statement via any other client (not DataStage)?

You need a "fork join" design. Use a Copy stage to send the first column through an aggregator to get counted, then join back to the detail rows with a Join stage. You will have the count along with each detail row. Then filter based on the value of the count.

If it's VARCHAR2(60) in Oracle and you import it, you are likely to see that it imports as VarChar(180) or even VarChar(240). Use whatever imports.

What error message is logged when the job aborts?

Try using wc -l filename as the Filter command.

As soon as you choose File Pattern as the read mode, First Line is Column Names property becomes invalidated. You even get an advisory message box telling you that this is the case. On that basis I don't believe you can call it a bug. Add a reject link to the Sequential File stage to capture the hea...

Depends what "the file names are all different" actually means. If they are sufficiently different that no suitable wildcard pattern can be found, then multiple File properties with a mode of Specific File is likely to be preferred.

Include the DataStage bin directories in your PATH (command search list) environment variable if you want to avoid typing in full pathnames.

And, if the system reports that APT_ORCHHOME is not set, you can be fairly confident that this is the case.

That is my understanding also. The settings have to be compatible - Output with reject link, or something other than Output and no reject link.
