From the world-wide head of DataStage (Keith Kohl) at a recent IOD conference, server edition will be around as long as DataStage is around. Although Keith did not say so, the main reason for this is the large number of server jobs out there, and the fact that sequences are in fact server jobs. So t...

Topic: Equivalent data type of Unit64 ?
Replies: 7

It's not unit - it's uint - unsigned integer. NUMBER(19) does not fit into a regular integer (32 bits) but does fit in a 64-bit structure. That's the 64 of uint64 in the data type. uint64 is a data type. So talk of "equivalent" is moot. Since SQL does not support unsigned data types, there...

Look in the log file for each run type (alone and from sequence) and see what's being passed as this parameter. Compare the values. Please also advise your exact version of DataStage.

No.

You'll never be able accurately to identify the process.

And it will only get more difficult when you move to version 8.

Node Pools can be subsets of the available nodes. The default node pool (which has the name "" in the configuration file) must include at least one node. Disk Pools can be subsets or supersets of the disk (resource or scratch) available. One site where I worked used a 34 node configuration...

Not possible.

Why do you think you want to do it that way?

There is a way, but you have to generate the query externally to the job (perhaps in a prior job) then pass the query into this job as a parameter value.

It says there's no key of that combination of values in your target table, therefore there's no such row that can be updated.

Warnings do not count as failures.

You will need to code your own, using (probably) explicit Warning triggers or custom multi-status triggers.

You can Save the table definitions from your job designs back into the Repository. Once there they can be exported.

What record count do you get when using the dsrecords command with the Data Set?

That's not a bug, and it can happen with Copy stage also. There's no count because the stage is optimized out of the design. Inspecting the score can verify that this has happened.
