Lookup in Server

Well, it's been a long time since I replied to anything on here, but I just had to do this myself, and I'm in the same boat. Basically, I had a flat file source, and an Oracle table used in the lookup. Well, since the Oracle stage doesn't allow you to return multiple key matches in a lookup, we had ...

You can either use an Execute Command in the Job Sequence, or you can go into your job parameters, and execute the unix script either as a pre- or post-command.

Now that I got that out of the way, my question: Is there a limitation in DataStage on the number of SAS stages in a particular job. We have a job that has 36 SAS stages, and when we added the 37th stage, the job aborts. The job run...

Ok, my question is CoSORT says their product works with DataStage Server Edition, so I was wondering if anyone had used it with Enterprise Edition. I didn't know if it was possible.

Thanks.

You can also log into DataStage Manager, and go to Tools...DataSet Management, and find your DataSet. This will give you the size of that DataSet.

Well, you have a couple of options. You can use the crontab command in unix to create a cronjob that in turn kicks off your dsjob script and executes your DataStage sequence.

Re: Installing Enterprise Edition on an existing 7.5.1a Serv

Ideally, you'd want to install the 7.5.1a on a "test" box. Export and import your existing flows on the test box, and run several tests. Once you've been satisfied with the test results, you can just install the new version on your "production" box.

Thanks,
