Use the auto-purge settings. Maybe with tighter rules than you currently have in place. That's what I'd regard as best practice.

You can create external VBA script to run Excel macros, and you can execute those from DataStage.

Running them from DataStage on UNIX introduces more interesting problems, however. You need to enable some form of remote execution capability and use that.

Code: Select all

-param PSName=ParamSetName
where PSName is the name of the parameter set in the Parameters grid and ParamSetName is the name of the Parameter Set in the Repository (these will usually be the same).

That's the values files that form part of the Parameter Set. But even so it has to be done prior to use. The only solution of which I am aware is to use a hierarchy of sequences.

It's up to you whether you remove the DS Users or not. Denying them roles via the DataStage Administrator client is all you need to do.

Output column derivations are all of the form

Code: Select all

If InLink.Col1 = value Then value Else SetNull()
I'm assuming that the output columns are decimal, not string, so that "empty" would not be a vaild value, hence my use of SetNull().

There was a quote character missing around "\...".

Equivalently you could have used DataStage/SQL:

Code: Select all

SELECT CATEGORY FMT '64L', COUNT(*) COL.HDG 'Count' FMT '5R' FROM DS_JOBS WHERE NAME NOT LIKE '\%' GROUP BY CATEGORY EXPLAIN;

1. Lookup stage. Lookup failed rule = "Fail".
2. Allow lookup stage to retrieve multiple rows from reference input. (The rest of your requirement happens automatically.)

Give some thought to how "00120", "0120", "01999" and "0200" sort as strings - you DID say that the data type is VarChar.

More thought required...

(The answer, in the interim, is "probably", but nothing is leaping into the forebrain just yet.) The idea about IPC stage or simply inter-process row buffering is probably useful.
