I'm not sure if the "field 15" is conted starting at 1 or 0 - are both of those columns dates, and if so could you check the range? I still don't understand how or where the Julian Date figures into this.

Have you used $APT_DUMP_SCORE to see how many PIDs you are firing off at the same time? If this number is in the thousands and the requirement remains that all the jobs need to run at the same time: (a) optimize the jobs to use less processes (b) use less nodes in your APT_CONFIG_FILE (c) What hardw...

Akumar - I just wrote two small test programs to see what the differences are. In a 1-node configuration my transform stage was 20% faster than a column import stage.

The error message comes from the file read stage, so before any replace functions could be used. Could you post the line of source data causing the error?

That is quite odd - this only happens when you insert a null value? In that case, I would guess that you specified a "null length" in the column attributes.

A segmentation fault is an operating system error caused by a program accessing a memory address that isn't allocated. It would be more helpful if you could post the complete error message. Actually in this case, posting all the error messages would be helpful.

What type is the column defined as in DB2? I wonder where you are doing the Julian date conversion.

It's been stated already that the only documents available are those you already have access to.

If you could be explicit and explain what you tried and how it failed then you will get answers - but I don't have any examples that I am free to give out.

UTF-8 is a good basis but it does not handle "all" characters. No mapping does. It will most likely cover any characters you are going to use. If you could explain

...facing issues in oracle enterprise stage because of this...

in more detail someone could perhaps comment.

That was a legitimate business writeoff, they were learning about DS :D

(Yes, your honour, I am guilty of thread drift and will do DSXchange community service in pennance)

did you also manually clear out the "\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ascential Software" tree from your PC's registry with regedit?

You shouldn't need the field width attribute if you have specified a bounded string with a maximum length. Have you tested this?

A "deadlock" occurs when one process waits for a lock that another never releases. This won't happen when each write/update is a transaction. It might not be the most efficient of methods, but you won't be getting a record level deadlock.

How about both women and boats?

{I have lots of thoughts, some of them are daydreams, many of them about women and food. Occasionally one might be about DS. I have always disliked that question} Have you been doing DS updates sometime on that box or is the current version the first one that was installed. What was the last compile...
