Use the "Before SQL" tab to add your TRUNCATE TABLE (or ALTER TABLE TRUNCATE PARTITION) statement. Or use the "truncate then insert" option if the stage type supports it.

If the Partition Table field is populated, the stage is able to use parallel read.

No.

The information is in the export file but is not brought into the receiving Repository. If you can identify any object that was imported you can find out by whom and when the import occurred from the DS_AUDIT table, and ask that person about the provenance of the export file.

What is your definition of "performance" in an ETL context? Without knowing this it is not possible to answer your question. And what would be your alternative if the answer were to be "yes"?

Capture the output somehow and work out the line number in which your desired output appears. For example if it's line #3, use

Code: Select all

Field(ScreenOutput,@FM,3,1)
to retrieve the result.

Probably firs...

It did used to be true in early versions but was fixed/changed, if I remember correctly, about version 4. You had to validate the job to create the hashed file "automatically" before that.

You have to find out where there is an input record that has two many fields - possibly because there is a delimiter character in a string-type field. The error message gives you the row number where it occurred.

The significance, of course, is that you can create hashed files (note: it's not "hash" files) when the job runs. One of the options is the ability to delete any existing hashed file of the same name in the same location before re-creating it.
