Yes, when I change the connection parameters to another database in a different box, it connects, it throws this error only to this particular environment and the messages are misleading.

I know it sounds crazy, but we did try all that, We double checked all the server parameters, userid, pwd etc. and everything is just fine. From the ETL Box command line, we were able to connect to the oracle database, but from Datastage it errors out and gives misleading messages. We are also openi...

Ooops Sorry, the error doesn't say "Unable to Extend" but says "Access to sys.dba_extents is required but not available; please see your database administrator for select privileges."

We are not even trying to load, just trying to view the data on a table with 10 rows, still it throws the same error.

Already checked with the DBAs and they do have some good amount of space available.

You are passing a parameter in the Jog sequence which in turn you are using in your job. When there is a discrepancy in the datatypes of the data being used, you get this warning. Check your data and the meta data defined for parameters and the values being passed.

Re: DB2 Identity Column Issues with Parallel Jobs

I had already checked the SQL this column doesn't exists, infact when Write Method=Upsert and Auto generated SQL automatically removes that column from the SQL.

Re: DB2 Identity Column Issues with Parallel Jobs

sud, again if you look at the last two lines, I tried write method = upsert as well as write with this excercise, but still did not work.

I also read in one of the previous posts where substituting 0 for these identity column will be sufficient, I tried that and didn't work.

Hi All, I had a requirement in my current project to generate id's using identity column in the DB2 table, but I have given my recommendation to generate it from Data Stage and which works fine.

If you have Null in the incoming rows then the StringToDecimal conversion fail throwing this error. You can check for Nulls and empty spaces before converting If IsNull(inputlink1) then SetNull() else If trim(inputlink1) = '' Then Setnull() else If Isvalid("decimal[10,2])", inputlink1) The...

If you want to check before converting you can use the following: If IsNull(<input port>) Then SetNull() Else If Trim(<input port>) Then Setnull() Else Trim(<Input port>) If you want to check the validity of the data before converting you can also use the Is...
