Hi,
How can i do selective compile?
I mean, if i have a transform stage, and two identical output link one link to database stage and another link to peek stage.
I want to compile both links in development and only compile one link in test/production.

can someone tell me how to do it? i know it is do able.

thanks
Abyss

Just curious because I have not heard of this before...

How do you know it is doable?

Yeah, not sure what makes you think you can selectively compile only part of the job. Why don't we start with why you want to do that - is it to "disable" or otherwise not use (I assume) the peek stage target outside of dev?

sorry guy, i must wrong then...
you let me reconstruct my question:
Craig is right: my question should be: How to disable peek stage (so it doesn't print into log) outside of Dev.

That is a much better question. Unfortunately I am not sure of the best answer. Here is one idea...

You could define it as a standard to set the Peek stage Output Mode to Output, such as to a Sequential File stage rather than to the default setting of Job Log. Then, assuming you have a code review step in your promotion process, someone can verify it is correct before promoting the job past Dev.

Another thought, a job parameter that can be leveraged to "turn it on" in dev and off in other environments. Basically via a filter in the link to the peek stage that either lets everything or nothing through based on the parameter.

What you seek to do cannot be done using the compiler alone.

Craig's solution - to include job logic - is appropriate.

I recall once trying to set the "Rows" property in the Peek stage to 0, but this threw an error during pre-compilation.
