I agree with your statement, but I see that you have put XFM1/2 on each of the partition paths. That makes sense, as you're doing something and breaking the load out over processors.

Having the partitioner going straight to the collector with nothing in between is what doesn't make sense to me.

Inheriting a job: IPC Partition fed direct to IPC Collector

I've inherited a legacy job and am having a tough time deciding why it was built the way it was. I'm hoping that the community can shed some light on what I'm thinking. Job design: SRC --> Transformer --> IPC-part --> IPC-collect --> flat file * note, that there is _nothing_ between the partitioner ...

Trying to do that as we speak.. I've "inherited" things from previous development phases. In the interest of time, I'm multi-tasking down both paths in the event that someone else has encountered a similar issue. I'll let you know what Ascential (IBM) comes back with, if there is a solutio...

Error Trapping with the OLE DB Stage

I'm using the MS OLEDB stage to insert records into SQL Server. I'm finding it lacking in it's abilities to trap errors and reject rows properly. If an error occurs, I'd like for the row and error messages to be sent to a log file. Instead, I see warning messages in the job log and a false completio...

Hehehe... good question. We're trying to re-use code that has already been built on our transactional database (SQL Server). The procedure inserts records into several tables with logic that would have to be rebuilt otherwise. After it's all said and done, we then have to synchronize a table (Oracle...

Routine to Call SQL Server Stored Proc?

Anyone done this? I saw a previous post from awhile ago of a user trying to call a stored procedure through a routine. He was doing this in order to support input/output arguments. I have a similar problem: I have a job that is similar in flow to: OCI --> StoredProc --> OCI The important things to n...

If your job is defined as follows: seq file --> transformer --> seq file2 Why don't you just define the first sequential file stage with a '.' as a delimeter, pick the 1st and 4th columns in the transformer, then feed it to the second sequential file. Ofcourse, you can only do this if the source seq...

Custom SQL to Update using ODBC or OLE/DB?

Thanks Ray. I've resolved the issue #2, it was me javascript:emoticon(':roll:') Rolling Eyes concentrating on the HRESULT error versus looking at the data. That being said, however, the first issue is still around. Null Oracle date columns are still trying to be written as '0000/00/00 00:00:00'. I'm...

Timestamps Oracle OCI to OLE/DB??

Hi all. I'm finding some interesting behavior around timestamps. I've defined columns on both the Oracle and SQLServer side as 'Timestamp'. My job is as follows: OCI-->Trans-->OLE/DB What I'm seeing is as follows: 1. null dates in Oracle are trying to be written as '0000/00/00 00:00:00' in SQLServer...

2. Break your existing job into 2 parts. Job one is ODBC-->XFM-->SEQ where the SEQ file contains a fully crafted SQL query for each row with a UNION ALL between rows that will return a uniform set of columns. Job two is OCI-->XFM-->SEQ where the OCI stage executes the generated script (you can do t...

Here's the design issue: I have a set of reference tables. In these reference tables there will be a where clause for a given rule.
