Delayed Metadata and Performance

Hi I have searched for "delayed metadata" on the forum and the closest one is this one ( http://www.dsxchange.com/viewtopic.php?t=114754&highlight=delayed+metadata ), but I am not loading data to Teradata but reading from Teradata using the TeradataPX stage. The SQL uses a derived tabl...

Here's an idea...

Hi Been a long time user of DSXchange and looking forward to a few more years :) Thanks for creating those tutorial DVD's, they have been pretty useful coming from server edition to PX, although one or two of the recordings were a bit on the bad side (voice recording). Have there been discussions ar...

Hi Arnd Thanks for getting back to me. I have unspecified the fixed width property and replaced it with record delimiter (unix newline), the metadata for the column specifies the width of the record.

My job has a sequenctial file outputting to a transformer and a 2nd sequential file as the reject link. The source file is 1348 bytes wide (fixed width) and I'd like any records not of the s...

Is metadata precision a farce in 7.5.1A

Hi xchangers! Thought I'd share the following with you. I'm pretty sure it hasn't already been raised in the forum. From the source file I strip out the columns I want using start and end lengths of the record (source = fixed length file). This I output to a transformer as varchar fields (all). An e...

Multiple Instance or Multiple jobs?

Does it make a difference to performance if i have 1 multiple instance job that is invoked many times or is it better to have multiple jobs that are copies of each other? I susp...
