Sure, they all use the $ORACLE_HOME specified in the dsenv file when they need to connect, but the Bulk Loader is a little different animal. It creates a 'control' file to set Schema and Table names post-connect which is probably your issue here. Check the '.ctl' file the stage generates and make s...

It works the same way that it does in TOAD. Typically, you point it to an ORACLE_HOME and it uses the tnsnames.ora file there. Obviously, there can be more to it than that but that's normally how it works. The fact that you got a Table or View does not exist error shows you are connected to an inst...

You need to add ORACLE_HOME and the other variables to dsenv. Do a search this has been covered in great detail. You may need to start and stop DataStage. Thank you for your answer. I suppose to be able to set only one Oracle environment, so DataStage Server would have to reference the same Oracle'...

Looking for Oracle's instance information

Hi everybody How does an OCI stage find an Oracle Instance? I have this problem.

It doesn't work, obviously, and the error displayed in the log is: *** Output from command was: **...

All records in DS_JOBOBJECTS are controller or identified by the field OLETYPE. This field really identifies the Windows program which deals with that plugin. You do not really care about how it is implemented normally all you want to do is report on it. The Oracle plugins almost all have OCI in th...

Recognize an OCI stage in DS_JOBOBJECTS

How can I recognize an OCI stage in the DS_JOBOBJECTS table (or other one) of DataStage Repository?

Can I know the columns name and type used in referenced stages from the previous query?

Thank you in advance

Hi everybody the problem I have today is about a trasformation. We are upgrading DataStage Server from the release 7.1 to 7.5.2. We are testing all Jobs. Two jobs of them have the same problem. They extract data from an Oracle8i table and write them onto a flat file. ORACLE-TABLE ------> SEQUENTIAL ...
