Are all the servers running, and not paused? Is this the login to the deployment domain or to DataStage? What does your support provider suggest? Since it was working before and isn't now, what has changed? "Nothing" is not the correct answer, though the thing that has changed is not necessarily any...

Welcome aboard. Is this question about DataStage TX, or DataStage other than TX? If the latter what you request is not possible. If DataStage TX (which is suggested by the forum in which you chose to post) I do not know whether what you ask is possible, though I doubt it. The reason is that DataStag...

These days what a Transformer stage is, to all intents and purposes, is a BuildOp generator. Look at the generated code to see what I mean - though it's rather better documented than a lot of user-written BuildOps!

Parallel jobs can, however, be compiled in trace mode, which is very similar to server jobs' active stage tracing. You can even limit the rows processed.

What do you get when you type this commands at the UNIX prompt?

Code: Select all

echo $?


It's impossible to diagnose further without knowing that.

Replies: 4
Views: 1512

A more general solution requires you to realize that these stem from the use of Lookup stages. A Lookup stage (unless performing a sparse lookup) must perforce create a lookup table in memory, and then build an index (hash table) on the fly, before any lookup operation can be performed. That is why ...

For someone to "take a look" surely they will need access to your environment, maybe even the mainframe on which DB2 is running.

Isn't this what you pay your support provider to do?

Use stage variable to generate sequence and another to convert same to string which you can concatenate to your source string ("22222").

I'd have to agree, noting that you may also need quote characters (regular SQL rules) if the data type is Char or VarChar.

Code: Select all
