Job Sequencing Issues in Parallel

Hi, I have a Job Sequencer [in Parallel]. [1] If the Job aborts in one of the jobs in the sequence, should that job be recompiled, before starting the Job sequence again ?? Am I missing something here. [2] Also instead of changing the file name in the first job each time, I introduced a FILE Paramet...

Re: No color change in link

Hi, I faced this exact same problem...Your job would have executed correctly. The target tables would be populated but still you cannot see the link change color nor get the performance stats. For this, I learnt from the forum that JobMonApp should be running. Make sure your JobMonApp is running. e...

You can use CurrentDate() function. To add n days to current date, use CurrentDate() + n To subtract n days from current date, use CurrentDate() - n This fuction is even listed in Functions> Date & Time in derivation field in Transformer. In the sameline, with a date in yyyy-mm-dd available, ho...

Re: Diff between Filter and Switch Stages

Hai In which seneario will be used Filter and switch stages.which one is better for performance issue considerations. Well SWITCH is like your CASE statement in C or an EVALUATE statement in COBOL wherein when the condition is met, exit is taken. FILTER is used to drive an input to many different s...

Vijay - sorry about that, I meant to address my mail to bmadhav. The CFF stage won't make a difference if your metadata is wrong. You need to specify the conversion correctly. Are you using PX or Server? That's alright..Well using PX=Parallel. COMP-3 fields from the COBOL file like amounts are good...

Vijay, don't you think that copying a premium post in full is not ethical? >> I didn't get this at all...Did I do something unethical ?

Your data and metadata are not in synch. I don't know how you have loaded your file's metadata into the repository, but the COMPutational part did not get set correctly. You need to edit the file's definition in the manager (right mouse-click on the column(s) in question, "edit row" and s...

Cobol COMP field Issue in DS

Hi,
I have a COBOL Mainframe file with few COMP fields.
e.g., Item-QTY PIC S9(9) COMP. where the value could be 1,etc
When this metadata is loaded, it shows up as
Item-QTY Integer 9 and the value shows up as 1654772 [something like this]. How do circumvent this issue...

Yes
Thank you all, got this working with a Transformer stage, but would try with a Pivot stage later on, as Transformer stage seems to be overhead w.r.t perfomance for this task. Will keep posted. Thanks again
