Hello all,

I re-created the job from scratch and everything seems ok :)
It's not clear what can have been wrong...

Thanks anyway!

Hello, Some more info: The jobactivity has one trigger with expression type: warning-conditional. This trigger leads to a routine that logs the name of the 'failing' job (using DSLogWarn). I also tried to create 2 triggers on the jobactivity (OK and otherwise), but this didnt work too. The compiler ...

how to get rid of warning trigger

Hello all, I have a sequence job in which a parallel job is called. Only if this job ends with warnings, the sequence job should trigger a warning. What confuses me is that the sequence jobactivity always triggers a warning, even though the called job has finished with status OK?! Any ideas what cou...

hi all,

I changed the execution mode of all stages up to the join stage to sequential and ... got the right output!!

It's not clear why parallelism fails here. Maybe you guys have some ideas about this.

Thanks anyway.

hi all, thanks for your advices. i create a testjob with a dataset containing 110 records and a dataset containing 5 records. I joined both datasets on a dummycolumn (both filled with 1) that i added to each dataset using transformers. The result: 550 records ! However, when I implemented the same s...

join datasets

Hi all,

I have 2 datasets that I want to combine as follows:

Dataset 1:
col1
1
2

Dataset 2:
col2
1
2
3

result set:
col1 col2
1 1
1 2
1 3
2 1
2 2
2 3

I think the join/lookup stage is not suitable because you need to specify which keys in both sets you want to link.
How to do this?

hi

I added a sort stage and adjusted the partition type to same in the aggregator. Isn't that enough?

The aggregation key is a varchar(11). The 300 output columns in the aggregator stage are integers, and decimals (most with precision: 15,3)

It doesn't seem to help (still 48 minutes), or may be I misunderstood your advise...

I added a sort stage before the aggregator stage to sort input on the aggregator grouping key. In both the sort and aggregator stage I selected hash partitioning.

Aggregator stage performance

hi all, my datastage job aggregates about 450000 records into 210 groups with 300 summed output columns. The outcome of this aggregation is fine but performance is very poor. Running the job takes 45 minutes to finish. I tried to sort the data on the grouping column before aggregating, but without s...
