There is no certification available for DataStage Server Edition.

The Data Warehouse Institute (TDWI) offer some certifications; search this forum or their website for more information on that.

It's easier (and legal) simply to add an extra column to the link between these stages, and load your value into that.

No, that's a hashed file that you've defined.

If you would re-phrase your last post in English, so that I can understand it, then I might be able to offer some cogent advice. I do not understand your post as it is written. DSXchange is NOT a mobile telephone.

Before embarking on week manipulation you need to get your business rules right for week number. How is week #1 defined? Take a look at the WeekTag routine (category Examples\Functions) to see what I mean; their rule is documented in comments at the top of the code. Of course this is for a calendar ...

No. All you get from Director is the time. The MB is external to DataStage. You have to do some arithmetic. If that's too hard, get Excel to do it for you.

It is sometimes necessary, with NLS enabled, to handle characters that are not ordinarily trimmable, such as the Japanese space character. You can write a routine but it is much easier to add the code point for this character to the TRIMMABLE class in the CTYPE category of the NLS locale.

Megabytes per minute is a better rate metric, as it is not influenced by row size. However, it remains a problem that startup times and other wait times are still counted, and that - for some reports - the time is rounded to whole seconds.
