Reference atlas.nextval from oracle

It's not that it has to be last, it's merely that the job does not provide a column. For example INSERT INTO table (c1,c2,c3,c4) VALUES (atlas.nextval,:1,:2,:3); would suffice, and the job would only supply three columns on that link (values for columns c2, c3, and c4. ----- Original Message ----- F...

Passing parameters to jobs in batch

It is not possible to get DSJE.BADVALUE if the parameter type is String. I believe your parameter type is TimeStamp, in which case the format must be an ISO8601 TimeStamp (that is, YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS. Yours has an underscore between the date and time components and only a two digit year. __________...

Passing parameters to jobs in batch

Hi Regu and others.. I've already tried what you have suggested below and the second job successfully picks it up. I also tried running a different Unix command, a wc -l, and can successfully pass this parameter through to my second job however when I run my "head" command and try and pass...

Passing parameters to jobs in batch

Guys, You may have tries this already, but I would start by running the same bit of code but actually hardcoding the parameter value to be what you expect from your Unix script. i.e. replace "ErrCode = DSSetParam(hJob1, "pFileDate", ProsParam)" with "ErrCode = DSSetParam(hJo...

Passing parameters to jobs in batch

You are *sure* it is defined as a String? You've spelled the Parameter name correctly or you would have gotten a different error. A string (mostly) doesn't care what kind of values you put in it, so I'm surprised by this error. I *could* see you getting this if it was defined as a Date. Your other i...

Passing parameters to jobs in batch

Which version of DataStage? There was a bug related to parameter passing in an older version (I think it was 4.x or earlier) where strings containing certain characters (we had problems with spaces in parameter values). Certainly, this is fixed in the version we are currently using (5.2.1). If you a...

Reference atlas.nextval from oracle

However, be careful of the performance : if you have a huge number of lines in your stream link, and for each line a lookup is done, your job can take a lot of time to be executed. I have succesfully used user-defined sql (as proposed by Ray) few months ago, but it seems to me that, it works only if...

How to import files w out editing, for tbl defs

One possibility, amongst many.... - Copy just the field labels to a text file. - Create a DataStage Job (you could use QualityStage if you reallllllllly wanted) that would replace any occurrence of spaces and other invalid characters to a character of your choice. - Copy from the new text file the n...
