DSXchange

Why not use three IsValid() functions (with different date format strings) connected by OR ?

Or to Amsterdam, the only place you're likely to find a hash file.

And I, blindfolded as it were (I can't see your job) am trying to undertake a systematic diagnostic process. Apart from rushing to post on DSXchange, what diagnostic measures have you taken?

First YOU shed some light.

Is this the Oracle Enterprise stage, or one of the other Oracle stages? Your answer affects the advice that we need to give.

The client detects which components are licensed on the server.

That's the score for licensing, and doesn't help. Is there a second score event logged?
If so, can you please post that score here?
If not, you may have an issue with licensing, or access to DataStage software on other processing nodes.

Good. Now check the Mapping tab (on the Output link) to see from which input each of the output columns is derived. Remember that any column derived from the Right input must be nullable, because a left outer join can return NULL from the Right input.

Is the number of lines in the large CSV file known in advance, or arbitrary? Is there a maximum value that it may have? The answers to those questions will affect any suggested technique.

Clearly there is at least one difference between environments.

Dump the score in each and look for those differences. Does the error message indicate which stage/operator is generating the error?

How are the data (a) partitioned and (b) sorted on the inputs to the join stage? Have you made sure, in input link execution order, that the stream input is marked as Left? What style of join are you implementing?

Maybe, maybe not. Ultimately it's the service name that has to be requested. For UniVerse, for example, it's uvserver.

Why didn't you ask that question the first time? This is where choice of stage type comes into the picture. Compare, Difference or Change Data Capture. Read about how each works, which will guide you to the answer to your question. The good news is that at least one of these stage types allows you t...

You use whichever case is appropriate - mainly driven by whether the database server is on the same machine as the DataStage server or not.

Use the IsValid() function. Find it in the Parallel Job Developer's Guide

For ODBC these libraries are in branded_odbc/lib directory. But your original question specified Oracle stage.

Can you be fully specific about which files had to have permissions adjusted, to aid future searchers?
