Use a DataStage sequence to control which tables get copied.

Start only the sequence from the third party scheduler (Autosys).

Much cleaner.

Topic: DS_AUDIT query fails due to read-only status?
Replies: 2

In the SIT environment D_DS_AUDIT is clearly NOT read-only, since the I-descriptor (INSTANCE) compiled successfully.

Please compare D_DS_AUDIT carefully between the two environments.

You might try compiling the I-descriptor manually. The command is

Code: Select all

CD DS_AUDIT INSTANCE

So is it that you want a new file to start each time a line beginning with "A" occurs in the source file? This might be easier and faster to accomplish using a stream editor such as sed or awk. If you must use DataStage, set another column to flag whether the "A" appears or not, ...

Welcome aboard.

Since AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII does not support Arabic characters, it's not clear to me how you're getting Arabic characters at all. Can you be more precise?

What happens if you try reading with AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8ISO8859P6 as the character set?

Why not look at the segment files (using the Data Set Management tool in Designer) to try to work out where the differences actually lie? In particular, review how many 32K or 128K blocks are involved for each Data Set. Space in a Data Set includes any unused space in these storage blocks. It may be...

Was A.ds populated in one go, or by successive appends?

Looks like orchadmin cp has taken the chance to effect reduction of un-needed space.

Looking forward to the holidays so I can spend some time getting the website beyond "under construction".

Not if you insist on using RCP throughout. If you want to apply a transformation to a column, you need to name the column (field). DataStage adds leading and trailing non-significant zeroes to Decimal numbers to assert/prove the precision and scale values. This behaviour is not (currently) negotiable.
