Topic: Does DataStage v.8.0.1 could extracting data from DB/400?
Replies: 2

It is not possibles with the DB2 Enterprise Stage, since the Enterprise Stage needs a DS runtime on the DB2 machine, which is not supported with this environment.

You need to utilize one of the other connection methods like DB2API or ODBC to access DB2 on AS/400.

You may also check which EBCDIC codepage is being used at your host system and then set the environment variable APT_EBCDIC_VERSION accordingly.

Hello Sai, a "parallel shared container" has nothing to do with "allow multiple instance". A shared container is a design element that is incorporated into the job at compile time. "Allow multiple instance" allows you to run the same job several times at once - with a d...

Re: how to use join stage for joinig more than two tables

In one join stage you can join multiple links on the same keys only. In your case you have to use 2 joins: join A and B on K1 and then repartion, sort and join B and C on K2.

sequence does not compile

Trying to compile job sequences always returns "INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR", regular jobs (parallel) compile OK.

Any idea on this?

Re: OCI Date conversion failed

About the Date conversion you can try this: 1. If you want pre-hawk behaviour then you will have to set DS_NO_FF to 1 at Project level or in the dsenv file. After this both date and timestamp will be imported as timestamp and fractional second is not supported. Same as 7.5.2. 2. If you want fraction...

Re: Unable to connect DB2 through DB2 UDB

The DB2 UDB stage does not do bulk loading - please refere to the manual. For bulk loading you have to use the separate db2 bulk load stage.
