There's also REMVIEWS and CEFVIEWS for the Information Governance Dashboard, in the IGD schema.

A hash file is a file used for shaping a block of hash.

DataStage has hashed files.

There is no equivalent in parallel engine.

But it seems to me that a Lookup stage with a reject output link would serve your purpose adequately. Just be aware that the reference data set must fit into memory.

Looks like your code was not successfully compiled, or you have not made it possible for DataStage to find the executable.

Just curious, does system() really return a char ? (I know char and int are somewhat interchangeable, but it's better programming practice to get it right.)

It will take rather longer to produce this export, since Information Server has to scan the repository to determine which the dependent items are for each item selected to be exported.

Just out of curiosity, what is RLVIEWS ?

I'm currently installing 11.3.1 (again) and only the other three are created.

Further, there's no RLVIEWS findable in the Knowledge Center.

1. Whether it's an explicit Sort stage, an input link sort or an inserted operator, the operator is always tsort. 2. You will see an import operator (that performs the read) and an export operator (that performs the write). 3. Enabling APT_DISABLE_COMBINATION will produce the same number of operator...

Another annoyance (to me, anyway) are the questions asked during setup about "creating" other databases, such as SRD, exceptions. In fact the installer does not create them - it only registers them and generates the scripts that can be used to create them. To my mind this is "misleadi...

You might also like to investigate Parameter Sets and their associated values files. This is exactly the mechanism for which you are searching.

You can execute anything for which you have a command line interface. Assuming there is some kind of JVM on every processing node, you would use an appropriate java command to execute Java components. You may need to ensure that environment variables such as PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and CLASSPATH are s...

Is the "Lookup File Stage file" a Lookup File Set or something else? I'm assuming that you mean the file that contains the reference data set. If it's a Lookup File Set you can remove it using the Designer's Data Set Management utility, or the orchadmin command. But ask yourself whether yo...

When the score is composed, any node pool constraints are satistfied. Then any operators that have to operate sequentially should be allocated to residual nodes (not necessarily the one named after the conductor node). Finally, unconstrained parallel operators are allocated to the default node pool.

Maybe an Execute Command activity involving echo with the >> indirection operator to accumulate the values in a file then, outside the loop, another Execute Command activity to cat the file? Of course you'd also need to ensure that the file did not exist or was empty before the loop begins.
