Hi,

This type of hangs usually happens when there is some kind of record locking. You do a delete. You do not commit and you issue an update command.

Did you try to sepearte the Delete and Update streams?

Hi,

Check this link. viewtopic.php?t=97043. You should use the CDC for finding the delta values. Use the Lookup stage in conjunction with Column Generator stage to get the maximum surrogate value and to generate new surrogate key values.

Hi,

Do a search. The problem is because of the difference between the incoming format and the expected format of the timestamp field.

Hi,

The Export and Import options are available in DS Designer. There is no coding or syntax required.

I recommend that you go through the documentation.

http://dwbalie.googlepages.com/dsbooks.pdf

This is the DS 7.5 documentation but good for a start. Go through the Manager Guide.

Hi,

How about using row generator and generate a dummy record. Load the dummy record along with the dataset records. If the dataset is empty then the dummy record will get inserted.

Use close command to delete the dummy record once the load operation is complete.

Try using the DRS or ODBC stage. We had some issues with Memo fields and then we used the DRS or ODBC stage to resolve it.

Hi,

Do a search. It is very effective.

Are the DB inputs parameterized? Are you providing the correct values for the parameters? When you do the view data how many parameter inputs show up?
