Treat this as a parent/child problem. Insert the parent records into the base table and the child records into the nested table. You may like to use a Distributed Transaction stage.

Business Glossary can only ever be represented as Terms and Categories.

If so, you can probably supply user-defined SQL to take advantage of the nested table functionality.

For example in Australia (a) it varies state by state and (b) it's a political decision.

They seem to have changed SDKSequences from a static hashed file into a dynamic hashed file. But the task remains to migrate the hashed file, and to ensure that a VOC entry for it exists in the new project.

DataStage, when converting Decimal to String (for example for display or writing to text files), adds leading and trailing zeroes in accordance with the precision and scale settings.

The second argument is length, not finishing position. Try:

Code: Select all

Specifically you need the Information Analyzer Project Administrator role to be able to create a project in Information Analyzer.

Suite Administrator role does not give you this permission. It does, of course, give you the ability to assign this role to yourself.

Some sites do not permit the use of Server jobs. It's political or just an uninformed decision.

Not in DataStage, but you can probably interrogate the timezone environment variable (usually TZ).
