Which database are you using for IADB?

Which user is specified in the Analysis Database settings within Information Analyzer, both generally and at the project level?

Ordinarily the default settings are OK, since the user is creator/owner of any tables created during analysis.

Your Information Server documentation specifies that the only supported browsers are Information Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Further there are version constraints; for example IE6 is not supported nor - officially - is IE10.

Maybe your metadata are wrong, and AMOUNT is stored only in positions 11-19. The character in position 20 means something different, and should be read as a separate field.

Re: Netezza Connector Insert Null into Non-Null (Use Default

I need a way to insert a row with a null value for a not null column so that the database uses the default value. This will not be accepted.

DataStage is alerting you to the fact that some dfloat values can not be stored in a decimal[17,2] column (because they are too large). You can choose to ignore/demote/suppress this warning only if you are 100% certain that every value you will be processing is legal for decimal[17,2].

What's the key? How big (wide) are the rows? What hashing algorithm have you specified? What size for the hashed file? Get these right and you will be able to populate it faster.
