Well here is the problem? lets say my data set is as below:: Key columns 1 ab 1 cb 1 cd 2 df 3 fd 4 fd 4 re here i want to assign same number to all the 1's and 4's. The stages which you have mentioned will generate seperate number for all the different rows.

I have to assign unique numbers to records in a buildop stage. How can i ensure that the numbers generated in all tha partitions are unique? Is there any way to get the partition number in C++ code i have written.

In the parallel job developers guide this is mentioned: Using Inputs with Auto Read Enabled for Some and Disabled for Others. You define one (or possibl...

I am very new to Buildop stages and i am not even able to compile them. So i will not like to waste your time by asking some silly questions. Can you guys suggest me some reading material with some nice examples which i can quickly have a look at. I have developer guide provided by datastage, but th...
