Re: parallel processing

Is it not possible to do it in a single job?

No. "Blocking" operations such as this are specifically prohibited in parallel jobs, as they prevent pipeline parallelism from occurring.

You can use Oracle functions or you can use DataStage.
If you use DataStage you will need either a (parallel) routine or a calendar table to determine which days are weekends. This is particularly true if your requirement extends the definition of "weekend" to include "holiday".

Or, if you don't want to convert the data type of the column, you need some other VarChar, such as a stage variable or an intermediate result in an expression that you can use to effect the Trim operation. For example dec_field:decimal[10,0] = decimal_from_string(string_trim[' ',end,begin](c...

You need to understand how the Lookup stage works, possibly by inspecting the score (specify APT_DUMP_SCORE as True). A Lookup stage generates a composite operator; it performs two operations. The first is to load the reference source into a virtual Data Set (120 rows in your case, loaded from the C...

Not inadvertently - it's all DataStage could do given your design, which is asking DataStage potentially to stuff a 50 character string into a 20 character field. Of course it's going to generate a warning - you can lose information by trying to do this! The alternative would be to abort the job. Yo...

But Sequential File stage in parallel jobs can have multiple File properties or a read method of File Pattern. Either of these can read multiple files.

The DATE() and TIME() functions refer to the system clock; they will increment over the run time of your job. To get the job start time you can prefer the system variables @DATE and @TIME in such an expression. Oconv(@DATE, "D-YMD[4,2,2]") : " " : Oconv(@TIME, "M...

They are all (almost all) documented, but only indirectly. For each of the DataStage API functions there is a list of possible returned values, which is where these constants are mentioned. You can obtain their decoded values from JOBCONTROL.H but, since they are almost all integers, this does not a...

The word "instance" can be misleading in this help. It is actually the row count from each partition .
