Creating common datastage jobs

Hi, We are doing similar processing with ETL jobs so wanted to know how we can make it configurable. For ex: Job 1 1.Extract from an oracle table and write in in a fixed width file. Here we would need to change the columns and use a user defined query for selection. 2. Extract from an oracle table a...

oracle load restart

Hi,

I have around 100 million rows to be loaded in a table as a refresh and this happens every week. If the job aborts in the middle say after loading around 70 mil rows..is there any way to re-start it and load only the remaining 30 mil rows?

shared container to job

Hi,

There is an existing logic in a shared container. I want to use that same logic and make it as a new job. Do we have any simple way of doing this or should i start the job from scratch?

Hi, Thanks. I am not sure whether Auto-partition is best to use. So i thought i would use hash partition. But just wanted to clarify whether it is necessary to change for sparse lookup.

sparse lookup partitioning

Hi,

Does changing the partition for a Sparse lookup have any effect, since it is directly firing the queries to the DB?. I have all the stages with Auto partition, but just wanted to know whether changing the partition for a sparse lookup will have any impact.
