Re: Resetting an aborted sequence

I think you can call your main sequence in a unix script but you have to write one or find one written, I am not that expert in writing a script to run a datastage job but it is not that hard. search the forum or internet. The idea is to just call the main sequence in a loop that try to run it as ma...

No the activity is not logged. As the Gurus said, the only option you had is to bring the job from the backup (or the second option would be to recreate the job )

Hi all,

One possible reason could be the number of warnings to abort the job, in director, when you run a job the default number of warnings before the job is aborted is 50. however when you run the job through designer, there is no limit on the max number of warnings, in this case if your job is producing ...

Hi Kumar, I agree with you. Nulls should be tansferred as nulls if you don't do anything. I solved the problem using unknown data type in the right side of the mapping of the transformer. I have to use transformer anyway, because of other fields ransformation. as far as I remember, when I view the d...

I guess this is what is happening. Oracle accepts date format in YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS. So, I guess you need to prepare your input data in that format before you load it into Oracle. Convert the Varchar into Timestamp in a Stage Variable and then parse the Timestamp into the required format using D...

Hi Kris Thank you very much for the advise. I am using the first one you suggested, however it doesnot work ( gives the run time error I posted in my previous post) the second one you suggested is not what we want because we need time as well as date.

Are you sure you are looking at the same record in source and target? You get 0's when you move from varchar to NUmber field if it has any non-numeric d...
