I understand from Ray's post that PX is designed in such a way. This clears my doubt. I thought there was some problem with my job. Thank you

If you use a Lookup File Set stage you won't get View Data either. Some stages just don't support it. Any stage that invokes a bulk loader does not support View Data when in bulk loader mode. End o ... So if at all I want to view data in the target, what options should I specify in the properties?

Is the 'View Data' button visible or grayed out? If it is visible, then what is the error message that you see when you click on 'View Data'? FYI: If everything is defined right, then you should be able to view data even if the DB2/UDB stage is used as the target stage. Period. Whale. The View Data...
