What is the data type of the column you're sorting?

Incidentally, DataStage sort in 8.1.1 and later will always out-perform Unix sort. The option has really only been left in the stage for backwards compatibility.

Always start with the first error - "unique constraint (SCOTT.SYS_C005447) violated". There's nothing wrong with the DataStage job design. You're trying to insert a record that violates the indicated UNIQUE constraint. Answer: don't. Perhaps add some checking to your job.

Client connects via the DataStage RPC mechanism and, in so doing, inherits the environment of dsrpcd. Perhaps that environment includes REMOTE_DB_INSTALL_LOC ?

There is no such thing as a sample record from RT_STATUSnnn - records for different object types have different structures. Enjoy.

You haven't actually shown the key values. Try this query.

Code: Select all

SELECT @ID FMT '50L', F1 AS OBJECTTYPE FROM RT_STATUS97 USING DICT VOC ORDER BY 1;

CurrentDate() is not a string, so Convert() will not work on it. Leave it out.

Code: Select all

DateToString(CurrentDate(),"%yyyy%mm%dd")

What are the data types for this column on input and output links?

Perhaps the difficuly is in an implicit conversion, and data that cannot be successfully converted given your default timestamp format setting.

You can switch case sensitivity on for LDAP in the Advanced page of Global Security in the WAS integrated console. If you really want to.
