I agree. Saving it from the job is actually the quickest way. Otherwise, as Arnd mentioned, you need to create a VOC entry for each and everyone of them to be able to inport it as Universe file definition.

Also, you need to always keep in mind, what time, or what part of day or night is your process going to run when it goes live. If during that time, not much database activity is taking place, then i would suggest doing aggregations sorting and joins at the database level.Transformations can be done ...

Try to go through my logic. In that, it doesnt matter how many times abc or for that matter any other value exist. All you need is to be sorted by val1 and the design will take care of the rest.

Yes, I agree with you Ray. Most of the time people just sign up twice I guess. But having 12000+ users for DS in reality doesnt seem to me a right figure. I would decrease that year limit to 2 years, as to my knowledge may be I am wrong, Datastage has gained popularity in the past 2 years itself.

Inactive DSXchange users.

IMHO
The inactive users that are not charter members need to be re-considered by the Admin on how to go about with unending list.

This might help in increasing the site performance.

Thats fine. But the link collector will go for roundrobin processing. It will take the first record from 1, first record from 2 and then first record from 3, then come back to 2 and continue. SO your output file will look like header detail trailer detail detail ....... ....... ....... ....... Thats...
