Iconv() and Oconv() work properly whether or not NLS is enabled. Some conversions behave differently, but it is proper in each case. You can disable/enable NLS via the NLSMODE configuration parameter in the uvconfig file. To change you must shut down DataStage, edit the file, regenerate, and start D...

Monitor can show %CPU (percentage of clock time spent using the CPU). If this is high, then the job is CPU intensive.

You can monitor your system with tools like vmstat and iostat and match the process IDs with those of the DataStage processes.

Etiquette Note
We don't do "urgent" or "ASAP" here. If you want urgent help sign up with your support provider for premium service, and learn the true cost of urgent. Every poster, including the five premium posters, at DSXchange is unpaid, a volunteer, and posts as and when they are able.

Yes, that's what "Continue" means.

Something is preventing matching. It's hard to judge what might be causing this, since we don't know what your job design is.

They are going down the reject link because they are NOT matched.

Does one lot have trailing space characters and the other not? Incompatible data types? Incorrect/incompatible partitioning on the two input links?

Welcome aboard.

No, you don't need Condition - this allows you to attempt the lookup only if the condition is true (for example IsNotNull(Qtr) And IsNotNull(Year)).

Your Lookup Failed rule will need to be set so that failed lookup input rows are directed to the rejects link.

Without the code it's going to be difficult to determine. Improper data type usually arises from an attempt to use a file variable or subroutine variable that have not been properly assigned or which have subsequently been overwritten. However, there are other possible causes. Please post the routin...

Do a lookup first to see whether the record exists. A sparse lookup would suffice.
