Why are you using DB2 API stage rather than DB2 Enterprise stage? (There can be valid reasons for this.) If you're on version 8.1 you really should use a DB2 Connector.

Now you know the source of the error and may more closely focus your diagnostic efforts. Check whether there is a metadata mismatch; the stored procedure stage does not report these.

DataStage will create the control and data files.

Sometimes you might like to create a custom control file separately from DataStage and just have DataStage create the data file. This is also an acceptable approach.

Both UniVerse and Unidata are independent database products. Between 2000 and 2009 they were owned and marketed by IBM; in October 2009 they were sold to Rocket Sotftware. Both were created in the mid-1980s to try to take some of the market share of Prime INFORMATION. The original vendor of UniVerse...

Not because of that. But the new server may well have faster CPUs, which will make a difference. DataStage 7.5 is a 32-bit application, so does not take any advantage of a 64-bit architecture. You must make sure that 32-bit versions of commands and libraries are found by DataStage before the 64-bit ...

But how u call this function in server transformer.... Your original question was how to do it in a routine. People have been answering that question. I doubt that U (one of our posters) is interested in calling this function at all, but I could be wrong. The second person personal pronoun in Engli...

I would strongly suggest you get some experience actually using the product. For example, can you remember the different things that are signified by red flags, green flags, red squares, green squares, red triangles?

Just think about what parallel execution mode might mean for an XML Output stage. What are the "records" to be partitioned? How are you specifying that they be partitioned? What do you expect to be produced - multiple output files? After all, what you deal with in XML is a free-format stru...

Yes and no. You can perform the two lookups, but you can not do either of AND or OR in a Lookup stage. The test must be in a downstream Transformer or Filter stage.
