Remove Duplicates requires sorted input. In increasing order of inefficiency, try the following techniques.

    Sort within DataStage, specifying "Unique"

    Filter through sort -u

    Remove Duplicates stage

    Access through ODBC and specify DISTINCT in the SQL statement.

If you exceed this number, then many of your connections may simply be waiting for others to be freed. For example, wi...

Typically an after-job subroutine executing ExecSH to run a mv command that uses the result of a date command in whatever format you desire for your timestamp.

These tables' metadata are deliberately incomplete.

DSguruji's answer will show you the publicly-available column names.

Any attempt to UPDATE these tables may void your warranty and may also damage your Repository.
