Loading Data into a PX Job from Oracle

Post by als110 »

We are currently trying to load data into Datastage with a px job. The job runs fine if we run it as a server job with a user defiend query. However when we run it as a px job we get the following warning followed by the following error:

main_program: An NLS map <ISO-8859-1> is specified, but NLS_LANG is not set. The NLS map must be set to an ICU codepage which is equivalent to the character set specified by NLS_LANG

Do exactly what it suggested. Go to your DBA. Tell them, "HEY! Stop restricting my account so tightly, and let me have access to sys.dba_* tables. Kthxbaibai."

DataStage PX/EE requires the use of those dba_* tables in order to handle partitioning, among other nifty (but entirely internal) features.
