Probably going to regret this, but you *could* build your job like this: XFM --> SP --> OCI --> OCI A single dummy record triggers the SP, passes through and does some sort of harmless no-op style operation in Oracle.

What does an inner join have to do with how many rows come out? Never heard of a cartesian product? Depends on the nature of the join keys and the data being joined.

It's still running until it stops running. After job, you need to check the INTERIM status to get what you are looking for.

Not possible. You either need to generate another hashed file with a single key or slap a UV stage over the top of it. Not for the faint hearted, however.

Resetting != compiling. You'll be fine simply resetting the job, unless there's something dodgy about your 'user defined routine' that does the reset. :?

Code: Select all

SELECT JOBNO FROM DS_JOBS WHERE NAME = 'JobName';

Assuming that 'datastage error log' = job log, that is.

What is the data type of the COGIPF_LOCALTIMESTAMP column in Oracle (not your job)? What is the exact error you are getting? Saying it "complains" doesn't really help us.
