When you run a job with collection of performance data enabled those data are collected in XML files. These are not intended for human consumption. The "harvesting" reported in the Performance Analaysis tool is basically the reading of these files. Some reports have to read more XML files ...
Server Sequential File stage can do this easily. You can use this stage in a server Shared Container in a parallel job if that's what you really need to do, but maybe try it first in a server job. Scroll right in the Columns grid to find the "missing columns" rules.
Please Search You'll get lots of hits. Ignore the "waiting for mutex" part - that's just indicating the semaphore mechanism. In short, your job has waitied too long for something to occur which hasn't occurred in the allotted time. At a guess it's an inter-process communication, which may ...
$ENV as a default value of an environment variable job parameter (or parameter in a Parameter Set) is a directive to find the value in the underlying process's operating system shell. If the environment variable is not defined in that shell, the parameter environment variable will also be unset.
Both configuration files specify execution on a single node, since only one node is defined. It might be interesting to test whether you can get parallelism for example specifying multiple readers per node for reading a sequential file, and writing to a Data Set (which would presumably be spread acr...
I am unable to download from that site. It contains potentially unsafe links to German advertising websites. My computer is well-protected and does not allow such sites to operate.
A ".gz" suffix suggests compression rather than encryption. Further it suggests gzip (usually a UNIX compression tool) for which the reverse is gunzip. Later versions of WinZip should be able to decompress this file.
Why are you even using CFF stage for this? A COBOL FD such as you have given specifies fixed-width so, unless there's a good way of handling missing columns, you have a problem. I'd be using a server Sequential File stage (in a server Shared Container if it must be in a parallel job) which has the b...
