Re: FTP plug in not working

Hi,
The error you are getting tells me that there is some problem with the server name/ path provided. It can also relate to the login info being passed to the ftp stage. Kindly reconfirm that all the login details and ftp serever name/ url are right.

Re: Performance on large look-up table

Hi, I would say you are doing right by using a Join stage instead of lookup since your reference dimension table also is quite huge. Additionally, you can sort the data prior to join stage on the key fields. Also, while the job is executing, look for the server resource utilization as in scratch spa...

Variable column numbers (metadata) during File Import

Hi all, I have to import a file with unknown number of columns in a parallel job. By unknown # of columns, I mean that the meta data information may be different for the same file for different runs. If I use Seq file stage and enable RCP and only give one column name, it rejects all others. If I gi...

Re: how to retrive the data from CLOB Column through datast

As told by Ray, If you are using 7.X version of DStage, then using a Long Varchar, can enable to read you using the 'view data' option and will also enable you to process CLOB columns. I have a similar case and I use LongVarchar(4000) for the same. For 8.0.1 , IBM has provided a patch to fix this, s...

I need to run a parallel sequence which in turn runs few jobs & routines. The need is to run the job continuously & hence to poll database constantly. The problem arising is due to lack of options available in DStage Scheduler for continuous run, I need to use daily/every option, but this cr...
