Tail stage is efficient irrespective of number of rows, as it simply keeps one row in memory, and outputs that row when the "end of data" token is received.

Modifications are actually in a nested table called DS_AUDIT_MODS. Search the forum for column names you can use to query DS_AUDIT, which you can do using DataStage/SQL, or a Hashed File or UniVerse stage.

Have you searched the forum? This question has been asked - ans answered - before.

Also make sure that the port numbers are available - that is, not blocked by firewall or other security software.

In this particular case it's the CATEGORY index on DS_JOBS that appears to be out of date. That's (my guess) why "the job is not being found in the category".

No, but my script renames the old file first.
DEL /F/Q %filename.dsx.BAK
REN %filename.dsx %filename.dsx.BAK
dscmdexport ... ... ...\%filename.dsx

Maybe the process of renaming means that the required name is cleared.

The only thing that could have happened for this symptom to occur is that someone, or some thing, has deleted these files. If uvconfig and bin/uvregen exist you could try regenerating the .uvconfig file. Let us know whether that's the case. Otherwise restore your DataStage engine directory from back...

The short answer is "yes", except if using a Hashed File stage.

The next question is probably "how?". Think of "Key" in the metadata meaning "search key" rather than "primary key" in this context. Post a specific requirement to get a specific answer.

Single quote characters (hard quotes) are meaningful to the shell. Among other things, they prevent resolution of environment variable characters and expansion of wildcards. Lose the hard quotes.

Code: Select all

-param $APT_CONFIG_FILE=${APT_CONFIG_FILE}

Delare them in the Administrator client. Job properties, click the Environment command button.

Use them as job parameters as the most flexible mechanism to override the default values on a per-job basis.
