Replies: 10

Hashed files are created by default using 32-bit internal pointers. That is the source of the 2GB limit - it is the largest address that can be accessed with a signed 32-bit integer. You can create hashed files with 64-bit internal pointers, or convert existing hashed files to 64-bit internal pointe...

Test the returned key column, or any returned not null column, to determine whether it is null. That is all you need. If it is null, the lookup failed. Your constraint expression on the "good rows" output should therefore be

Code: Select all

Not(IsNull(parent_table_link.key_column))

Can you use MERGE or JOIN stage .That can be helpful to you. through that stages you can remove what you want?the columns which are not matching that can be reject . Efficiency Note This approach involves the not inconsiderable overhead of converting from a server job to a parallel job. Server jobs...

Re: How to reject the rows that not in the parent table???

TRY THIS. IF ISNULL(LINK.FIELDNAME) OR TRIM(LINK.FIELD) = '' THEN @TRUE ELSE @FALSE Efficiency Note ISNULL(TRIM(LINK.FIELDNAME)) OR TRIM(LINK.FIELD) = '' performs the same task. IF test_expression THEN @TRUE ELSE @FALSE is inherently redundant. Similarly, trimming NULL has n...

Topic: How to view data in Look up file Set
Replies: 1
Views: 722

There is no View Data for Lookup File Set. Nor is there any tool for viewing the rows in a Lookup File Set. This is because streaming data is not how a Lookup File Set works. Its operation is predicated upon receiving a key value and returning that row. If you must view the data sent to a Lookup Fil...

Depends what has to be in them. If the header is fixed text, for example, you could set up a before-job subroutine to use echo command. The Sequential File stage in your job would then be set to append, rather than to overwrite. Similarly trailer could be an operating system command that picks up th...

Views: 725

File Pattern is NOT read from another file; the property value must be the wildcard itself. For example, in your case, Test?.txt would be a suitable value. What you need to do is to read TestControl.txt in an ExecuteCommand activity in a job sequence then supply its output as a "list of things" to a...

If the job has never before existed in production this should happen automatically. Inspect the code of the key management routine that you are using (it's in the SDK part of the Routines branch of your Repository).

I needed to run this in job stage and wanted to avoid Sequencer. I needed to run this in job stage and can not use sequencer.... Why can't you use a job sequence?

If you are executing a Match stage within QualityStage one of the early columns in the match report is the match type; you structure the report by loading it from a system variable. Work through the examples in the QualityStage manual and/or tutorial to get examples.
