parallel shared container

[dsscholar]

Hi all,

Source --> shared container ---> copy --> target

Source : 20 columns

Shared container input stage obviously has 20 columns.

Inside shared container, first stage is column generator after input container. input tab is empty in column generator. In output tab, a created one dummy column. i enabled RCP inside shared container as the input columns has to propagate till the last stage.

In this case, when i dont enable RCP in the source stage of the job, compilation error happens. When i enable it works fine. RCP passes the missed out columns during runtime. But here all twenty columns goes to input link of the shared container which is mapped inside the shared container. Inside shared container its enabled because all the input columns should pass till the output of the shared container. But why should i enable RCP in source when the column count is the same.

Thanks in advance.

Did you say the input columns inside the first shared container stage are empty? If so then the column count is not the same between there and what you pass to there from the source stage. Seems like that should generate an error without RCP on.

Why the need to enable RCP on the output of the source stage, which is connected directly to the input link of the shared container? Precisely because you don't have any columns defined on the input link of the first stage in your shared container. With RCP disabled, there's nothing to match against for validating the link.
