Hi,

Did you use the GUI to insert the job parameter.

The job parameters are not marked with # in transformer.

Dont use the hand coding. Rather use the GUI.

Hi,

Check if the job is being monitored in the Director. Just change the view in Director from log view to status view.

Let us know what happens.

There are also other options in Director like Clean up resources and Clear status file which can be used to release the locks if any.

Hi Srini,

There are 2 ways of deleting the dataset. The dataset management utility and the other is the orchadmin. Since orchadmin is a command line utility all you need is a shell script. It does not require a PX routine.

Hi,

What is the compilation error that you are getting?

What makes you think the compilation error is because of SCD stage?

Did you mention that the surrogate key generator is a database sequence and not a file?

In the filter stage don't use the link name. Just use the column name like data='100'.
