sort before lookup/cdc

Hi,

I don't have parallel extender installed, so can't try this.

I came to hear that it is compulsory to sort data before using lookup/merge/join/cdc stages.

Is it true? If so why? I can't think of a reason. Is it for performance?

Thanks

hashed file through parallel jobs

Hi,

I know that we can't use hashed file through parallel jobs, but can we use UV database to access via parallel job (which contacts datasets etc).

Thanks

Hi,

No it is not enabled. Does DataStage deal with JobActivities in parallel differently than with JobActivities in Serial

Regards

Which way is preferred, to use routine activity with 3 or 4 parameters concatenated (slight messy as each parameter is derived from a lengthy function) or a job with code in job control (will atleast split the messy parameter list into 3 or 4)

more than one argument in routines

Cant we have more than one argument for Before/After Subroutines. If not, they why does the RoutineActivity stage say that it can pass more than one argument?

:o For a while I thought I figured out how to do it. Next approach what I can think of is to write files from Seq1 and Seq2, and Seq3 Waits for those 2 files written by Seq1, Seq2, using Wait for File Activity ( with Do not time out checked ). After that I remove those files (which I will use just t...

DSWaitForJob

I need to wait for 4 or 5 sequences to run before I run another sequence. But these 4 or 5 sequences come within a span of 2 weeks to 1 month. How do I remove the time out option (or) specify particular time for time out??

Don't forget to use an existing file in the Input 'FileName' box.
What should this FileName be File1 or File2?

Code: Select all

and use the FileName as #File3#
